Now this looks like an indie game I'd enjoy. The psuedo-2D art style is also great - I really wish more games had something like that instead of "realistic" art styles.

Got this from the humble bundle and have it from a previous one so hopefully someone here wants it.

You can authorise up to 5 separate accounts on the one system with which to share your library. Concurrent game access isn't permitted; if a secondary user is playing a game and you jump in one yourself, he/she will be booted out after a short warning.

Thanks, I got that part as it now shows in my family settings that I have to choose 5 users to authorize, but didn't get how it says I can still keep 10 systems to share with as that seemed like contradicting things. I guess those who have lots of users have to only check mark 5 at a time in the sharing menu.

I'm going to buy a controller in anticipation of Dark Souls 2, is the xbox 360 controller still the one I should get? Not gonna wait around for a stickless steampad when this is probably the only game I'll use a controller with. This one?

The Xbox 360 controller is the only one with near universal game support, so it's a great choice. Just remember to use sandpaper to thin the inner part of the ring around the D-pad.

I'm one of those people that hates Souls games with the 360 pad, due to them being so dependent on the LB/L1, despite preferring it otherwise. You can try the DS4, which now has full touchpad support/remappable keys.

360 controller is a little less hassle and cheaper, though.

I used a DS3 to play Dark Souls and I thought about getting one of the controllers from the new consoles, mainly though I liked the small driver footprint the 360 controller had (had one years ago). Probably just go with that, appreciate the response.

Account authorisation follows system authorisation; you're allowed to share your library with any five accounts that are local to the system you've authorised. Theoretically you should share your library with 50 different accounts if you so desired.

I can't personally vouch for them. I've never used them but it is on Slickdeals front page so I figured some people might be interested and it's one more piece of support for how economical PC gaming is even at launch of a game.

thanks for the clarification, I guess some games were losing sales from too many people sharing their libraries. Still a great feature though

It took me a while to get used to a 360 pad for Dark Souls after having just played Demon's with a DS3, but I adjusted fine, as I typically do. Would like official drivers for next (current) gen controller, though.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Was out all morning, did I miss anything?

Also, I was glad to see that Mozilla now lets me respond to user reviews on the Firefox page of Enhanced Steam.

Yeah - that wasn't Enhanced Steam.

Not sure if it helps, but here's my stats:

Points gained by entries: 1574220
Points gained by games: 1000
Points spent: 1282844

GA won: 3

So it's possible, just not likely.
