playboxgamingcenter Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Hi, I bought 3 pcs and 3 vive systems for me and my brothers. Each one is in different room. I downloaded games to my own pc only (all games are under my aqccount). Do I have to create for the other 2 pcs different account or I can use the same vive/steam account? Do I have to purchase again the same games for each computer even that all 3 of them are in the same local network? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulloko Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 - I know for STEAM, you will need 3 STEAM accounts and each one of them needs the game in question. STEAM does have the "family sharing" option - but if I remember right, two people CANNOT use the same game (or even the same library) at the same time. As for VIVEPORT - I believe this is the same, however I am not as familiar with it. RecRoom is FREE! http://store.steampowered.com/app/471710/ you three could jump in there and have some fun!!

playboxgamingcenter Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 It does not make sense. MAny families has the same issue. Why should they buy 2-3 times the same produvt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulloko Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 - It's been this way since... forever basically. If you want to play DESTINY with your family member - both you and them need to have PS4's AND the game. If back in the day you and a friend wanted to play StarCraft together - you'd both need the game. Now you could illegal copy the CD, etc.... but if you both wanted to play online you would both need CD-Keys. Multi-player games have almost always been this way, unless they supported split-screen (Mario Racing, etc). If you and a friend want to play - you'll both need copies.
