Up to 6, sharing your shareable games library

Adult and child accounts, limit child accounts, approve and pay for child buy requests,

Intended for close household family; can't join a different one until one year after joining

If a family member gets banned for cheating while playing your copy of a game, you (the game owner) will also be banned in that game. Other family members are not impacted.

This new system does not involve logging in to another machine with credentials. You send an invite, they accept.

Mhmm, I just noticed it yesterday when I first tried using it. But it doesn't seem all good, because apparently it only works (without any workarounds) if you are on the same network. My sister, who lives in the same country but 400 km away, couldn't join upon invitation :c
