skapmet Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hello, im sharing my steam libery with my sisters account, she was playing like 8h today and she didn't received any gift. She wasn't playing for 2 weeks so its not about 4gift/weekly limit. Did devs changed that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer PeterA Posted July 27, 2017 Developer Share Posted July 27, 2017 Sounds like there's a bug. I'm looking into the issue and will message you for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was an intentional change so people would stop abusing the skin system to get additional skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a limit on the amount of skins that can be gained through family sharing, but it's definitely not zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumina Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Not necessarily, it could be something else to prevent abuse. And i guess that if JoeW didn't mention exact number it could be for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey why would you want such an information, isn't obvious how top secret it is. You'll have to guess cause numbers are always bad when it comes to anything related to randomness and gambling.

If you give something to players and after a while you take it back is that right? i don't think so mate. And asking isn't a crime either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumina Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 37 minutes ago, skapmet said: Why would family sharing users be treated worse and don't benefit full aspect of game? Because you could easily abuse this by sharing your account with all your family (or false account), make the game turn in godmode and get free skins multiplied by numbers of accounts for only one version of the game. So limits are needed. Seems that the limit is still allowing family members to have skin, so it's not like they don't have skin at all. I don't see it as unfair, especially because skins aren't really a normal part of the game (i mean, if i play only time to time i will have very few skin, because it is how the system work, but i still can enjoy the full game. Because skins aren't, for me, really in the game, but a kind of bonus.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skapmet Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Steam allows to share games only with 5 accounts. For example if you share CS:GO you can't play Matchmaking, only normal servers. I agree, ppl can abuse it, but game copy itself should be limited to drop only set ammount of skins no matter which account is currently playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumina Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I don't know how it works. Maybe something like 4 skin for player who own the original game, and a limited amount of skin for player using the shared game ? Anyway, there is a bug now so it's hard to say, i suggest to wait for correction to see if there is really something wrong in the numbers, but i'm confident, it should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maslak Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 A simple solution would be to make skins obtained this way non-tradable and non-marketable. Then it can be 4 drops. It's just an idea, personally I don't like it that much. It could be hard to implement, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sosiskaKi Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 You can get 4 skins for your main account and 4 for all sharing accounts. For example, if you get 2 skins with your 1st sharing account, then you can get only rest 2 skins with 2nd. So, 8 skins per DST copy. Good thing buying it give you 2 copies.
