Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Fans Upset As Steam Pulls Family Sharing After Launch

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Fans Upset As Steam Pulls Family Sharing After Launch

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II fully launched on October 28 on consoles and PC via Steam and Battle.net. Initially, like many Steam games, it supported the service’s Family Sharing function. Though as of yesterday, folks looking to share a single copy of the latest CoD on Steam won’t be too happy as Activision disabled the service just three short days after launch.

Steam Family Sharing has been around for a while. The service does what the name suggests: You can share a single digital copy of a game with up to five people you select, typically family or close friends. The service has its own limits and restrictions, such as not allowing two individual accounts to play the same game at the same time. Though Modern Warfare II shipped with this feature enabled, an entry on SteamDB reveals that as of October 31, the game was retroactively excluded from sharing features.
