  Family Share works really well in my experience. It worked better when I could change the users more frequently but this model is still works pretty well.

    Is there a way to share a single game and use your library still?

    I share my library with my son and when he’s using a game my whole library is unavailable to me, unless something has changed (or I’m old and ignorant … also likely)

      And the huge drawback that if the kid finds some “easy trick to win matches” on YouTube and gets vac banned, the parent also gets vac banned

        That would be grounds for a 64th trimester abortion IMO

      Yeah they (if we’re talking about Steam here) changed their whole family stuff. You can keep playing, as long it’s not the same title.

      That part changed. You only share what game is in use now.

  That’s why I don’t really use Steam to buy games anymore, too.

  At least maybe use GoG if possible to get a DRM free version.
