Maybe it's just me and I can't seem to think outside the box, but what do Valve gain from this? Besides the potential for lost sales?
When the game is shared, only one person cam play the game per licence. Say you borrow your game to a friend and he installs and plays it. You can let him play it but you will always get first dibs on it, unless he buys another licence for himself.
This is very welcome news and although Im guessing a lot of people will borrow their games permanently once they grow bored with them, this will only increase overall sales as people would buy some of the games they normaly would have skipped over. Very smart business move for Valve.
I have a nifty blue line!
