Steam streamlines its family sharing features


Now you might not boot your kid when you load up your games.

Accounts can share a library with five other family members, just as before, but there’s no mention of limits to the number of devices you can authorize. Doing parent stuff is also easier, and not just because you now can manage kids’ access to specific games, monitor their play time, and set time-based restrictions. A note of caution, though: the new system is region-locked, so if you’ve been sharing with someone in another country, you might not be able to continue doing so.
