Valve announces Steam Family Sharing — share your game library with authorized friends

Valve is planning to add a “Family Sharing” option to its Steam digital gaming service.

“Our customers have expressed a desire to share their digital games among friends and family members, just as current retail games, books, DVDs, and other physical media can be shared,” Valve business development manager Anna Sweet said in a statement. “Family Sharing was created in direct response to these user requests.”
