Family or Friend Sharring of my Games (like Steam)
I'm also not going to vote for this for the same reason as the other person commenting with regard to GoG's business model. In all fairness though, Steam sharing only works when Friend account is added to the same computer and you're not playing the game yourself, so no multiplayer and only from the same machine.
Instead, what I'd like to see is a way to determine if a friend either already owns the same game (like an "in common with [Friend Name]" filter in the game library list or a "potential gift" filter allowing you to purchase games you already own and your friend has on his/her wishlist directly from that library, perhaps at a slight discount if bought by you as a gift for your friend.
However, some games, like classic WarCraft II games had a mode which allowed them to be shared on a LAN in multiplayer mode only, but not in campaign mode so that the game could still be played. Look out for those.
I am NOT going to vote for this, for the simple reason that it would destroy GOG's business model - which is, YOU BUY YOUR OWN COPY OF THE GAME. This isn't like Steam, where you have to be online and logged in to Steam to play a game, and Steam is now (but did not used to be) limited to one connection at a time per account. I don't think it was originally verboten to share a Steam account, years and years ago, or if it was, people didn't know it. I know of several instances where people shared an account with a sibling or parent and one or the other of the sharers are now locked away from their own games since they implemented the one connection per account thing. Maybe it was always disallowed, but people didn't know it and now there are many formerly shared accounts out there with dozens or hundreds of games the other party can no longer access because of this, and they can't get them transferred to a different account now, either. Hundreds of dollars down the drain. There is no such issue here on GOG. This is not a useful feature, nor even a desirable one, here on GOG. Family can ALREADY "share" games merely by installing the DRM free copy of the game. In the case of buying games for your kids, this is already possible via GOG (though not via Steam due to the one-connection limitation). On Steam, a library of children's games is only going to be available to ONE CHILD at a time, so what STEAM is enforcing with their DRM is that EACH CHILD has to have his/her own copy of Willy Bender or The Whispered World or whatever, on his/her OWN account. GOG does NOT enforce such a thing within a household.
If it's multiplayer access you are after, each player should own their own copy of the game anyway.
definitely.
