Suggest it on the steam forums instead of posting it here then?

You don't think of your son as a friend? :confused:

My family are my friends.

You should look up the word Friend

Dickyb0b · 28 Nov 2010 at 00:19

Well no he is more than a friend, its you're own flesh and blood , how can you even say that

Tummy · 28 Nov 2010 at 00:20

Dickyb0b · 28 Nov 2010 at 00:30

dude stfu about child abuse, this a topic related to how steam classes everybody as a friend...

Tummy · 28 Nov 2010 at 00:38

Yes. He might be your family but he's also your friend.

Go look up the word friend.

I really don't see a problem with the term friend or how its applied in this case.

You be Trollin'

I think you just need to stop caring about this matter, it's a non issue.

Majority rules.

How many family members do I game with/have on steam? None.

'Friend' works as a generic term for your on-line peers and is more 'friendly' than another term which would apply for every possible person you could add.

Do you have NOTHING better to do than complain about such a trivial matter?

People honestly don't have this idiot on ignore already?

Yea family should be a subset of friends, so it's a non-issue really

are you saying you have no real life friends with whom you play games over the internet?

Well I know I don't anymore.

I think the point the guy is making is that he expects them to advertise playing Steam games with "Family and Friends", not just "Friends". But "Friends" in the sense of Steam just means people you have added or something like that.

I love how this thread has turned in to OP providing far too much information about his 'family time'.

I personally would be complaining if Steam had a button marked "add family (friends with benefits)" option.

This thread is so pointless it belongs in GD.

It's quite vile really and i've no idea what would posses him to reveal such things in a public environment

Swifty123 · 28 Nov 2010 at 12:31

Just pretend it says "Family"

Does that mean i could make my own 'family' and we could rule Steam Mafia style?

"Welcome to the family, we care for our own, you have any trouble with hackers, we deal with them, understand?"
