Dusk: Unpopular opinion: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly (twitter.com)

I know the wording there is fucked up, but have you used it? Because you can play two separate games at the same time with it, but you can't play the same exact game as each other. I use it all the time to play stuff my sister has that I don't, while she plays something else.

Unless you've got some weird special option, they're right, as soon as you launch a game in your library, it becomes unusable to family sharing, my wife and I use it but it's very limiting in that aspect.

It even notifies you when the "family library" becomes available.
