    FYI - the owner of this site, gamingonlinux, was a mod on the !linux_gaming@lemmy.ml community until they were caught abusing their moderator powers. Then they deleted their account and complained on mastodon that it’s stupid design that mod logs are public.

    Instead, here’s a direct link to the announcement:

    steamcommunity.com/games/…/4149575031735702629

    And the main Steam Families page:

    store.steampowered.com/families

      Steam Families is actually awesome, they re-did how the sharing feature works for families and it works great. I’ve been using it for months with my Dad and my son’s accounts and it’s great. Works good on the Steam Deck.

        Well, there are downsides to it as well. They limited the amount of family members to 6 in total. Which if you have 3 brothers, nephews, wife playing is not really enough. Also, the one year removal / delay before joining a different family is bullcrap. Imagine someone breaking up after moving in together and having to wait like 9 months before they can join a different one.
