So what are your comments on upcoming Steam features...

Post by Xseba360 »

too much randomness so i decided to be normal unlike everyone else for once
Family sharing is a pretty neat feature, I got into the beta and I've been using it with few of my friends recently. It's great since you can share them your games and they can do the same. Only thing i feel unsafe about is that you have to login on the person's computer, but since it's supposed to only target family as the name suggests, it wouldn't be a problem there...

In-Home streaming is a great solution to me moving my computer all around the house. Instead i'm currently looking around for a really cheap and small computer that can handle streaming to it, i'm already in the beta as well.

Haven't really made up my mind about Steam Music. Nothing revolutionary but might come in handy and eliminate the need to Alt-Tab to pause/play/change volume when i'm in-game.

You can but you don't have to get a beta invite for all of these if you join these groups on steam.

They all seem pretty neat and cool. They're all only useful to some people, some would really like all three of these while some might not use any of them. But they do seem well worth it for the people who will use it.

Family sharing is definitely nice for those who could use it. Saves money if money is tight (which applies for everyone =/)

In-home streaming seems cool, though I personally wouldn't use it at all so.. Same as Family sharing really

Steam music also seems very cool. It's very much a quality of life thing, it just keeps you from alt/tabbing. But for those who play music ever while playing it's very cool.
