"Valve Launches Steam Families: Enhanced Parental Controls and Game Sharing"

Steam has launched Steam Families, a revamped family sharing system that removes limits on the number of people who can play games from one library, simplifies game purchases for kids, and introduces new parental controls and sharing options. The new system allows simultaneous gameplay from the same library, supports offline play, and streamlines the process of buying games for kids. However, it is region-locked and has restrictions on joining or starting another family after leaving one.
