Comment on Introducing Steam Families

Being able to play game from a single library simultaneously is awesome and how it should’ve been from a usability perspective.
Sadly this change will make it impossible to simply share games with someone specifically, since it’s now required to be in the same Family Share, which is a strong commitment. For sharing games in a single friend group, this change won’t change much (unless someone still wants to share with their family). The changes make game sharing work more like intended, in other words family share.

It was never really meant to be used like that though. They might've tolerated it but in the end they can get rid of it while adding further functionality for actual family sharing.

Agreed. The new restrictions are similar to what Spotify is doing with their family plan and is way more useful for it’s intended purpose.
