Steam families freaking rocks, the original library sharing was a pain for my kids. I'm so glad they are doing this. On my next trip to the US I want to buy a deck for my kids but I don't know how, since it requires a US based account.

What do you mean? I'm not from the US and I have a steam deck

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Where did you buy it? I want to buy it in the US to avoid the high overprice that they sell ir at in my country.

In Australia, but I think it's the same model as the US

Yeah, I really like the fact that my son and I can play different games from the same library at the same time. Also, the bi-directional sharing is very nice, and the whole thing is much easier to set up than the original library sharing.

Just make a us account and buy it?
