Growing up, I shared my Steam account with my brother.

Valve described in its news post how the system works.

The new system replaces Family Sharing.

Youll find that not all games support Steams new library sharing feature.

For one, it wont work with any game that requires third-party authentication.

If a developer doesnt want their game enabled for Steam Families, they need to opt-out.

Lenovo Legion Go S running Windows with Cyberpunk 2077 on the menu.

That system restricted users from playing games simultaneously from shared accounts.

You know what, good riddance.
