Okay, yeah the old games you could do this with. Some of the newer ones seemed designed to kill it. I mean even when discussing intranet these devs talking about signing onto the internet and then… well it’s just not as common as it used to be.
What is totally common today though is multiple people from the same household, couples, marriages, roommates, kids, whatever, all signing into to play games not only with each other but also other people online. In shared financial situations, it would be easily expected that they might use the same credit card for all those accounts because… there is nothing weird, elitist or like extra special privileged about doing that. I know this was a throwaway comment, but again, it also doesn’t require super expensive new computers… old ones are just fine and because of the amount of games, 10 year old computers can certainly be used for new games today and share a credit card just like their shiny new brothers and sisters can.
