  I’m pretty sure you can set games as private now, but it sure took them some time.

    It’s not clear if that hides games from being shared. The info page explicitly states that ALL eligible games are shared.

    To get control of what an account can and cannot see/play, the account has to be configured as a child.

      I marked some games as private and they indeed do NOT show up on the other families users library. Seems to work like a charm!

        Just let him see your hentai games, say they’re “jokes” or something.

      The Q.A. page specifies that you can specify what games are shared or shown using the normal means.

  You can.

  Looks like this might only be possible by setting the other accounts to being child accounts.
