It's not slow at all. A friend of mine bought a game and I had this game available to me pretty much the instant he bought it.

Steam should add an option to share games (like a Steam family group) but especially for friends.

U know, for friends groups (because Steam Family its veeery slow)

Thank those who abused the last feature.

You know, to share games with your firends and not giving your account name and password (because Steam Family you need to put account and password)

One person purchases a game, and then everyone else on their friends list can play it?

No? Are you thinking of Steam Family Sharing, the old thing that was around before Steam Families was invented?

well you can say thank you to people who abused the family sharing. But at least they made it more stricter, instead of removing it out right

Yeah, but only the people you put in a special list or similar, and the other person need to confirm his entry to share games with you (and you with it) or a group of friends (more persons need to confirm and accept the "invitation")

Another question: ¿How Steam users abuse the Steam Family? Im new on this world ...

No, your friends should purchase their own game license.

People only abused it to beg to play games from random strangers...

No. The current family sharing, which is actually better than the old one because it doesn't hog down the entire library (think games in a CD box: if you play a game, you take out *that* CD; other family members can still use the other CDs), also tries to curb the massive abuse that was seen on the old system.

Steam is a game-seller -- they want to sell games, not have people borrow them to each other. Publishers, which are an EXTREMELY important group of Steam customers, also want to SELL games.

Anything that effectively boils down to you wanting to play games for free isn't going to make it onto Steams ToDo list. They have no intention of killing their own business.
