    Steam families freaking rocks, the original library sharing was a pain for my kids. I’m so glad they are doing this. On my next trip to the US I want to buy a deck for my kids but I don’t know how, since it requires a US based account.

      Yeah, I really like the fact that my son and I can play different games from the same library at the same time. Also, the bi-directional sharing is very nice, and the whole thing is much easier to set up than the original library sharing.

    Hope the Families beta is released to stable soon - the beta has some weird volume and display issues with some games (Gungeon is a good example).

          What do you mean? My kids have been playing my library using the new Family Sharing rules for a couple months on my LCD deck by opting into the beta.

          And yes, the new Family Sharing is amazing. It’s made me want to buy exclusively into Steam ecosystem.
