This is the same as the beta version, but is distinctly different from what we used to have. Previously playing a shared game locked down the entire library, now it just locks the one copy of the game. Previously you had to sign in on the same device to make it happen, now you can invite into the family remotely. Previously you could switch people in and out easily, now there’s a six person limit on the family and a one year cooldown on both the slot and the member who chooses to leave a family.

Overall it’s better as long as you didn’t abuse the system before.

This is by far the best thing ever for me. My 10 year old son is always hogging the damn thing and I never get to play. 😂 Thank you valve for locking only the game. I’m so freaking happy, you have no idea. I still don’t understand the cooldown part, but meh, I got what I’ve always dreamed of, and that is what I care about.

This might be a dumb question, but can you share non steam games that are in your library?

  There’s no mechanism by which that could work.

    Yes I know. The question was answered hours before you replied.

  Depending on what you mean by non-steam games. Maybe.
