one of our what? steamgaffers? youre talking like that doesnt happen all the time here lol
Apparently I'm less cynic, but I have the feeling that the people here have either a sense of honor or at least a sense of not doing such things in the same forum, as if nobody would see it..

Steam numbers are insane right now

Dota 2 is nearing 1 million concurrent with Counter Strke: GO nearing 250,000. TF2 at 100,000 and Civ V, Garry's Mod, Skyrim, and Football Manager at 50k.

Finally we have the original Counter Strike, newest AAA in Mordor, and free weekend Space Engineers at around 30k.

Final Fantasy XIII has around 10,000.

And yet we struggle to find SteamGaffers to play dota 2 with!

But like, half of those are Dota alts using family sharing.

Y'know, I'd love to be privy to how large Valve's cash reserve is. It'd have to be utterly ridiculous at this point -- I recall Gabe saying a few years ago that the company was more profitable per employee than Apple.

no wonder - since they only have like 5 people working in customer support :p
I know, I know :p
 
Did Valve change something about Family Sharing at some point or could you never play one game from your own library, while someone else accesses another game at the same time? My GF wants to play Skyrim, but can't when I'm playing something else. As soon as I start a game, she gets a message.

I thought Family Sharing was only limited to the same game?

It's always been that way, luckily my friend buys games and never plays them :D Although lately I've been pulling most of the purchase weight.

Only one person can be accessing the shared account at a time.

Family Sharing has never allowed simultaneous game access. I do think Valve will eventually loosen this restriction, though

Edit: b10.

Please do since I need to make rude comments, and tell you suck at playing games over the interwebs.

but you can do that right here, its a fact

facts dont offend, they are facts. like for example: "youre fat mokoi".

Thanks!

Huh, that's interesting. That makes Family Sharing really pointless. In a real family situation I mean. Imagine living in the same house and sharing one account with a sibling. And then you can't play different games from the same library? Really?

Yeah, it doesn't make sense.
You could always create new account for each game and then sharing would be "perfect". I don't think there's limit to how many accounts you can get shared from. (It would be just big pita to setup).

If you only had one Xbox, you could only play one game at a time as well.

Well, you can't play the same ps2 game on 2 consoles at the same time either.

Does anybody here know of any good internal wifi adapters for win 8.1? Surfing the net is fine but any sort of gaming or streaming and my wifi card can't handle it anymore. It USE to be good but for some reason the last few months it no longer seems to give consistent speeds.

Crazy to see how big CS:GO has gotten. I remember it had a pretty lukewarm reception when it was launched, and it wasn't very popular for a while. They really managed to turn that around.
I have to wonder how much longer TF2 will last. Personally I dropped the game a few years ago.

All you people wanting to know who is who... January is coming.
In January a lot of people on GAF participate in "Real Profile Pic January" where you change your avatar to an actual picture of yourself.
Cool

With all that cash they have the least they can do is add 128 tickrate MM servers to cs;go.
but you can do that right here, its a fact

Rhaknar pls.

I know you said internal, but i have one of these, and it works great for wireless gaming when I disconnect my wired connection

I suspect TF2 will stay strong until CSGO goers f2p. CSGO has really benefited from streamers. I play it more when I watch people stream it. I've owned it since day one tho

That doesn't make sense. I'm trying to play FF13, she's playing Skyrim. Once I launch FF, Skyrim stops working on her end. With PS2 games, we could easily share games like that.

Stick the main account into offline mode if you are not doing anything online.
