  Exactly ! Steam families are now dead simple, whereas this new oh-so-Nintendo method seems as janky as it gets.

  It does have one standout feature that Steam families do not though: ability to play shared games even when offline.

  Only recently has steam gotten better at this. I’ve got my account, my kids account, and a 3rd account that owns games we may want to play, so that it doesn’t tie up either of our main accounts or if we want to have a guest use it. (all are shared to each other). Until last year, it was not super easy sharing them all, lots of logins, authorizations, etc.

    Yup! Not all, but most. Some with high levels of cheaters block family sharing, like RUST
