Steam Implementing Share Function Between Friends?
Steam might allow you to share games with your friends. First spotted by NeoGAF user Grief.exe has revealed a string of codes that clearly tells about a “shared game library”.
- “SteamUI_JoinDialog_SharedLicense_Title” “Shared game library”
- “SteamUI_JoinDialog_SharedLicenseLocked_OwnerText” “Just so you know, your games are currently in use by %borrower%. Playing now will send %borrower% a notice that it’s time to quit.”
- “SteamUI_JoinDialog_SharedLicenseLocked_BorrowerText” “This shared game is currently unavailable. Please try again later or buy this game for your own library.”
The code clearly hints at the possibility to lend games to friends, and reclaim them whenever suitable. Currently Steam games are tied to your account. You’re unable to trade it in, sell it or lend it like you could a physical console game, and certain PC games.

The user was subsequently banned from Steam.

Unreal Engine 4 Horror Daylight Coming to PS4, E3 Screens & Trailers
Daylight is an upcoming next-gen horror from Zombie Studios and ATLUS. The Unreal Engine 4 game will drop in 2014 to both PS4 and PC. Daylight begins with the player regaining consciousness in an abandon hospital with only a cell phone to use as a source of light.
The ominous atmosphere, powered by Unreal Engine 4 gives players the immediate feeling that they need to escape. But since each level is procedurally generated, no clues, haunted corridors, life-saving flares or lurking specter will ever be in the same place twice. Daylight was written by industry veteran Jessica Chobot, who also provides the quavering, terrified voice of the protagonist.
“Since showing off a pre-alpha build of Daylight at PAX East the attention on the project has grown tremendously! With the gained attention, we were approached with the opportunity to partner with ATLUS to help release Daylight worldwide on Steam and exclusively to the PlayStation 4 system,” said Jared Gerritzen, studio director, Zombie Studios. “ATLUS has a long history of great games and is an accomplished publisher with worldwide reach. Working with them will allow us to reach a global audience, so we’ll be able to scare even more people.”
