Up to 6, sharing your shareable games library

Adult and child accounts, limit child accounts, approve and pay for child buy requests,

Intended for close household family; can't join a different one until one year after joining

If a family member gets banned for cheating while playing your copy of a game, you (the game owner) will also be banned in that game. Other family members are not impacted.

I've been taking part in the beta, as far as Steam is concerned me and my friends are a thrupple. Works pretty well, other family member's games just show up in your library. Haven't had any issues, Steam will tell you if your copy is in use by a family member and you either play something else or ask them to quit.
