"Valve's Enhanced Steam Family Sharing Program: Benefits and Risks"

TL;DR Summary
Valve's new Steam Families feature, currently in beta, allows up to six family members to share game libraries, with more permissive rules than the previous Family Sharing. Members can play shared games simultaneously, but there are restrictions, such as a one-year wait to join a new family and limitations on sharing certain types of games and DLC. The feature also includes parental controls and simplifies the process of purchasing games within the family.
