Three days after launch, Activision disables Modern Warfare 2 family sharing on Steam

Activision has switched off Modern Warfare 2 family sharing on Steam.

Steam's family sharing feature was fully implemented in 2014 and as the name suggests, enables users of a shared computer—"family members and their guests," as theputs it—to have their own saved games and achievements on a single digital copy of a game. It's a pretty generous system, allowing up to five Steam accounts to access shared games on multiple devices.

What's odd about the Modern Warfare 2 situation is that it launched with family sharing enabled, and it remained that way for three days before Activision pulled the plug. That suggests the issue isn't technical but an intentional choice on the part of Activision. Quietly taking the feature away days after launch has not gone over well with some players."You already put in two hours of gameplay into the game so now you can’t get a refund," chino869 wrote on.
