Dude, I never said I wanted to both play at once. My younger brother wants to play the game on my computer and I was just checking to see if I could have it not affect me stats.
The reason why I am mad about it is other games such as Battlefield 2 or Warcraft 3 or something you can play on other peoples computers and just create your own account. Since the CD key is set you couldn't just give them the game.
Also you couldn't just hand it out for free, only one person can be on per account at a time just like with every other game using CD keys. So anyone that would hand it out to all their friends for free pretty much makes it so they can only play a fraction of the time since their friends would keep signing on and you could never play together.
And I hate Windows Live, its completely pointless, the PC gaming community was perfectly fine online wise before it and its just some trick by Microsoft to get PC gamers to have to pay like their console gamers do.
And where did you ever even get that I wanted to play with my brother at the same time? I never said that ever and if you read it I said it won't let him play any of our already installed games implying that its on the same computer... Its obvious we couldn't play at the same time because thats how CD keys work, its just I think its retarded that the account is attached to the CD key.
In a game like StarCraft my friends could come over, go onto Battle.net and create their own account then play with me on one of my computers and then when they got their own copy of StarCraft later they would still have all their stats and stuff.
The only one CD key playing at a time thing is fine in my opinion, but not letting other people log on in their own accounts is just stupid. I had hoped it would let you play any installed games on that computer using Steam.
