Hello! We are excited to announce Steam Families, available today in the Steam Beta Client. Steam Families is a collection of new and existing family-related features. It replaces both Steam Family Sharing and Steam Family View, giving you a single location to manage which games your family can access and when they can play. Create a Steam Family To get started, you can create a Steam Family and then invite up to 5 family members.
Yes there is. You can just make another account for yourself and add it to the family, then use it to cheat. That’s the reason why they have to ban both.
A thousand times this. I’d even be for a button to add whitelist for games they wanna play. I am super sensitive about Mr acc, and the last thing is having a ban on record. Especially when I had to spend 10 years with a trade probation because my dumb ass duped some items on TF2.
That’s necessary, “it was my brother who cheated” is the oldest lie.
Except that lie is often used when sharing an account.
Under this system, there is no ambiguity in terms of if it was you or your brother.

Aaah, didn’t think about that. Darn! Can’t have nice things.
Yeah it’s unfortunate that a few bad Apples have to ruin it for everyone 😅.
It would be great to blanket disallow games that you can get banned in. Especially VAC bans.

Or alternatively send the rest of the family detailed explanations of how the idiot in question cheated and what they did. 😈
Is it though? If they are not banning the whole family, what prevents me from adding a new little brother?
