What's The Best Way To Share OOTP?

The Game · 12-28-2022, 10:01 AM

My youngest 2 nephews (10 & 7) are getting really big into trading cards and sports in general. I want to either get a copy of OOTP for them or share my version of 23 with them and if they like it i will buy 24 for them. Whats the best way to do this? If I download steam on their PC then give them my login info? My current OOTP leagues would show up right? I don't want them to accidentally delete them.

I know with Steam you can set up a Family Account and give them access to your games. The only catch is if they are playing the game and you want to sign in and play, it will kick them out and vice versa. The same is true if you gave them access to your account though. All the family account does is it gives them their own achievements.

23 is only $9.99 now. If you buy it and they don't like it, you could've done worse things with that money. If they like it, then you (and they) got quite a bargain.

Please see the forum rules:

Again, just so it's clear: you are allowed to offer to sell all of your license uses; you are not allowed to offer to buy, share, or sell anything other than that. If you do buy someone else's license uses (after someone has offered to sell theirs), please register it with the licensor so they remain yours.

And sharing your license is against the terms of the license:

Quote:

If you have purchased the FastSpring/QLM version of the game, OOTP Developments grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use two (2) copies of OOTP 23 solely for the personal use of the licensee. The two copies may not be used by two people in two places at the same time. OOTP Developments grants the use of two copies of OOTP 23 solely to provide the licensee with flexibility, and does not condone the use of the two licensed copies by users other than the licensee.

Source: license.txt in your OOTP23 folder.

I'm closing this thread.
