Have they solved the issue that multiple people can't be playing at the same time, or the same game at the same time?

I don't even do families. One of us just goes into offline mode for the time. Slightly obnoxious.

Previously a family member could only play your shared library if you weren't playing any game.

With this new steam families, they can play any game except the game you're actively playing (unless the family collectively owns multiple copies). So if me and my son want to play Lethal Company together we need two copies.

Cool. Well that is certainly a step forward. Thanks.
