Andy has been gaming on PCs from the very beginning, starting as a youngster with text adventures and primitive action games on a cassette-based TRS80.
Family Sharing is a pretty great feature on Steam: Simply put, it lets you share your game library with friends and family, so if you and your brother and your mom all want to play Helldivers 2, for instance, you don't all have to buy it separately—as long as you don't want to play at the same time, anyway.
The new parental controls also enable parents to monitor what their kids play on Steam, and when, and provides access to"playtime reports" so the adults in the room can see what exactly the kids are getting up to.
Imagine, then, that mom and dad get into a beef over whose turn it is to do the damn dishes, and one of them exercises the nuclear option, kicking the other out of the Steam Family. The next day, all is forgiven—but sorry, you're not sharing your Steam games until another 364 days have ticked past. Steam Families is now in beta testing, so it's possible that some aspects of it could be adjusted before it's fully rolled out.
