Steam Purchase

Post by Palenor »

I am thinking of buying FS-17 Platinum from Steam.

My question is, can I buy one copy and use the Steam Family shared system for three of us to play at the same time?

I know if you buy the game directly for PC you have to have multi- copies.

I am curious about the steam family share feature.

Does anyone have direct experience in trying this on Steam and more than one person playing the same map at the same time?
Or does it kick you out if another person tries to join your map?

If this does not work, think I will have to buy multiple copies of the older FS-2015

Thanks in advance.

Steam Family Sharing won't allow you to start the shared game on two computers at the same time, it only allows you to add the game to multiple accounts so that everyone can have their own Cloud data, achievements etc.

Since you can't even start the shared game with to different account, you obviously also can't play in multiplayer together.
