Since some Lemmy users have asked me via DM and also searched my other socials to ask me about my old bypass I thought I’d share my new one with Lemmy too.
I also uploaded the source in case anyone wants to look at it (or even extend it, who knows).
Sorry for the extraordinary wait.
Have fun guys :)
Are you full of shit? Their family sharing is the most locked down garbage there is, they limit you to families of 4 and make you wait a year before you can join another family. That’s not a courtesy, that’s a fake courtesy so they can say they provided something, and claim to be “good guy Valve”, actually that’s not true, they never claimed to be good guy Valve. It doesn’t help that they made publishers able to mark games as not family share supported.
While they added so much to the Family share feature they also took away a lot and locked it down considerably. I’m not going to pretend the fancy new options and ability to add 4 accounts is an upgrade, you get locked out of it for a year if you join and leave and any publisher can refuse to participate.
Let us not pretend that Valve is somehow trying to do good, they’re trying to make themselves look good while providing less, and when people point out the shortcomings they try to turn us against each other by saying it was “because of abuse”, the real reason is because they don’t want to give it their all.
i just dont have any faith that things can get better so i dont want them to get even worse. its better than nothing.
You’re not going to stop them from getting worse, and nothing the rest of us do can either, short of overthrowing the companies, and ending capitalism. Something that ultimately isn’t likely to happen any time soon. What you’re forgetting here is that when I say companies use abuse as an excuse I really mean the excuse part. They’ll say it’s happening even if it’s not significant, and they’ll say it’s happening even if it isn’t happening at all. If they get tired of the courtesy and want to go back to making more money they’ll lie and say they’re ending it because of abuse and people who do blame pirates will eat that excuse up even if it’s a lie and begin attacking pirates for it, like they always do. Do you see it yet?
yes, thank you for explaining it calmly
