Comment on Introducing Steam Families
AliasWyvernspur@lemmy.world 3 months agoI understand why, and it makes sense to me. But I wouldn’t want to take that chance.
It’s not so much that I know a family member would knowingly cheat, but who knows if a friend might convince them to try a mod or something, and not know it could potentially get them banned, ya know?

I get you.
Here’s hoping this new thing allows them to make it work better eventually, as the current system is a result of the older family share system - before the owner banning was implemented plenty of games just disabled family sharing entirely as a workaround for ban evasion.
Right now I believe the only workaround would be to use the parental controls to not share those games you care about enough.

Being able to gift games, parental controls, etc. Plenty of other reasons to set this up. As long as we’d be able to just not share games in case this happened, I’d be cool with that.
