    I hope this doesn’t end up abusing family sharing (it’s been just a few months since it became actually useful) to the point Valve nerfs it back to what it was.

        TL;DR: Simultaneous library sharing. Before, only one user could use a library at a time. Now, up to 6 users can simultaneously play any game from the same library.

        This is what Netris is touting users to exploit when they say:

        Steam Library Sharing

        Grant access to your Steam library, so everyone on your team can join in on the fun without additional purchases.

        A “Team”, lol wut?

          Not correct. You can only have as many users playing the same game as you have licenses.

          If your family library has multiple copies of a game, multiple members of the family can play that game at the same time
