I've noticed the same, and it has undoubtedly broke many projects using this functionality (myself included). It seems only partners can use an API call to check now.

"Obsolete, partners should use ISteamUser.CheckAppOwnership"

Via Steamworks, "This call requires the publisher API key that owns the specified App ID to use this method"

Publisher API Keys:

This is quite unfortunate and imho, demeaning to the community as checking for account sharing was very useful for many obvious reasons. I wonder what the reasoning from Valve is here or if there is another solution/alternative we can use?
