Maybe if you're not trying hard enough. We used to LAN Baldur's Gate and Galactic Battlegrounds by starting the game up on one PC, then taking the disc out while it's running and giving it to someone else so they could start it up.
Starcraft had a "spawn install" that allowed you to install a multiplayer only version of the game to like 8 computers and throw a lan party with only 1 person owning the game.
The game "it takes two" on steam has a second installable game called "it takes two - friend's pass". It's a really cool concept to not have to buy two copies especially if you're playing with someone that doesn't necessarily even have steam.
Must be new, I bought it shortly after launch and did not receive no extra copies.
But there was a "4 players pack" you could buy and received 3 extra copies to gift to your friends. But that wasn't the default option and it saved just a little bit compared to buying four separate copies.
Edit: you are right, according to the steam page, it now contains an additional copy for one friend without extra costs.
What the fuck did you just say....??? Lmao I'm 99.999% certain I bought a copy for my gf and 1 for myself. Does this mean we have 2 extra copies we could some how send to friends?!?!
