Well, kinda. But you’re right, almost all of our actions come with consequences which can also affect more people than just ourself. But in this case our action or inaction doesn’t change much if at all

Corporations and by extension many people will sadly do and say anything to accomplish their goals

You’re absolutely right in thinking that way, but this isn’t the only tool of it’s kind. The most popular one is GreenLuma, which has multiple thousands of users. So me making a similliar one for Linux doesn’t really matter in the grand scale of things

Well then sorry for spewing false nonsense. I know Lemmy will flame me for this but Valve is still a soulless corporation fucking everyone over. Just not as much as most others

They will ban your account and you will be crying because they took away all your games.

Projecting much? I’ve been using mods like this for a good decade. Also Valve has way bigger fish to fry with their shitty abusable shop system, all the people selling Steam market items on other websites and so on. The list is long

Dont abuse the system is pretty generous already.

You know what community this is in, right? It’s all about bypassing and abusing the system to get shit for free

Edit: Corrected some false statements on my part. Edit2: Undid first edit because seems like I got fed false informations

The lock is client sided, that’s the magic. You can play online just fine, I use it all the time to play multiplayer with my friends :)

Tools like this have existed for maaany years already. Just look at GreenLuma, which has quite the userbase. Nothing’s happened to me yet and I’ve been doing this for 10+ years.

But you’re right, as always use at your own risk since Valve can at any point and time disable your account/revoke your licenses etc

For example if your family sharing library has 1 license for a Game only one of it’s members will be able to play it simultaneously. This modification disables that lock for everyone using it
