Steam – Magic the Gathering Dop, steam accounts, and children

mtg-duels-of-the-planeswalkerssteam

My son has had his own windows account. Recently he asked about learning to play Magic the Gathering. I thought the best way would be for him to learn the basic game would be the Duels of the Planewalkers computer game on the PC.

When he launches the game under his windows account, Steam connects as me, it has all my few achievements unlock etc, and my name.

Can he play the game with own achievements and progress? Would he have to have his own Steam account and BUY the game himself?-(Which seems nuts to me)

Best Answer

Yes, he would have to have his own steam account and buy the game separately if you want to track achievements independently. A single Steam account is intended to be used by a single person only, so it is not surprising this is how it works.
