Could you remove this functionnality from NS2 ? The more it goes the more i encounter fake accounts with low hive skill on servers, stacking even with "force even". It won't remove 100% of them but atleast they will need to buy the game to make one.
And in the mean time could you change the algorythm so your skill doesn't impact the average team skill if you go com ? It's very hard for high skill player to go com when you are suposed to carry your team on the field because of force even. Having to play with a smurf just to com/play gorge and have a balance game is boring.

    This is something Steam have added, this is not part of the game. I do not think this can be removed.

    Family sharing is the greatest thing in the world. I humbly disagree with you, but could not find nicer words to express it.

    Comm's are not bound to the chair / hive.

    Ok I didn't know that since it's not working for all my games. Then i don't know if hive can know the serial number of your copy or something, so you get 1 hive account for 1 game copy instead of 1 hive account for every family account.

    It's only true if you play alien, and even then you won't be able to evolve in higher lifeform. High skill players rely heavily on their lerk/fade.

    the Steam API does pass through if a player is using a family share account and the ID of the source account for the game, so I'm sure a shine extension could be developed to stop accounts of this type joining a server.
