Why is it when steam as some update news , they say play with friends and never play with you're family/children?, its really wierd to me as i dont class someone online as a friend?

Are you bored. :confused:

RedStarRiot · 27 Nov 2010 at 14:16

You dont have any friends that have steam? what does it matter anyway?

Dickyb0b · 27 Nov 2010 at 14:16

No i am just confused why steam is always about friends and not family?

Surely its friends in the facebook sense that includes family and people you barely know.

Ok, so excusing the fact that you're clearly devoid of a sandwich or two from your picnic, are you saying you have no real life friends with whom you play games over the internet?

Woah up there, no need to complicate the issue with the "with whom you play games over the internet?" part, lets establish whether he has friends first

YOUR.

As for the actual topic, I can't decide if you're being serious or not. Family can be also classed as friends, and on top of that, who's to say a lot of people don't have their actual friends they know in person added to their "friends" list? :confused:

I dont but i play online with my son and when it came to adding him as a friend it was abit strange as he is more than a friend,i would like an option to add family or friend,both are totally different things.
