This would be awesome, and it seems like the summer sale time would be a good time to launch such a system.

Nice. I wonder when this will start.

So would I then be able to loan a game to a forum member to play for a month of so and then they can with me too?

If so, that's really cool.

This looks like a good initiative. It would allow players the opportunity to try out different genres and titles they normally would not touch. Thumbs up from me.

Ooh! Almost forgot about this. Need to reinstall my Steam account.

Just curious, how much does trust come into sharing? Is there any possibility that another player could get you banned for some reason?

Highly doubt it, they would be playing under their account.

Right, that makes sense and I'd be more comfortable with that arrangement.

if done right this could be one huge move in a positive direction for cloud services

How will sharing work though?

Revoke a code and making it re-redeemable?
