"Valve's Steam Families Beta: Enhanced Game Sharing and Parental Controls with Cheating Consequences"

Valve introduces Steam Families beta, offering parental controls, game sharing, and playtime reports for in-family children. Users can create a "Steam Family" to invite up to five family members, with access to shareable games and a shareable library. However, a big caveat is that if a family member gets banned for cheating, the owner of the game will also be banned. Parental controls include viewing playtime reports, setting playtime limits, controlling child purchases, and restricting access to the Steam Store and Friends Chat.
