We use steam here with kind of meh results. Mostly kids just want to play Roblox and Minecraft. </div>

Each computer needs its own account for Steam / Minecraft. For Roblox, the kids all have accounts so they use their own. </div>

One of the big issues we had/have is having a policy on what kind of games the kids can play, either browser-based or on Roblox. We don't allow realistic violence so the staff kind of has to police that day-to-day. Also the kids can get into it when playing
and sometimes the trash talk gets a little much.</div>

The big issue we had during setup was finding a vendor to work with to get steam games / Minecraft licenses that will sell multiple copies, do tax-exempt, and give a W-9 form. We ended up going with CDWG.</div>

<div dir="auto">I think I may need to clarify a bit. I think we're set for the console setup (Xbox, Playstation, Switch). What I'm looking for specifically is online gaming on PC for our computer Lab if anyone is doing anything like that. So, what kind of computer
setup you're using and what platforms you're using on the computers. What kind is restrictions or issues you've faced. Can you use one account on all PCs, or do you need separate ones for each... That kind of thing.

<div dir="ltr">Does anyone out there use/subscribe to any of the online gaming platforms for gaming in your libraries? We're looking to start some gaming nights and are going to be using all the gaming consoles, but would also like to have a computer based
option for those that are more into that. We are in the process of setting up a new computer lab and I want to set it up to allow our youth that come in regularly to be able to play more than Minecraft and Roblox. Essentially, I'm just looking for info right
now. Like what are you using and what does your setup look like? If you do subscribe to these services, are you able to use one account on all computers, or do you need multiple accounts for each computer? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
