    And the penalty is losing access to a fucking game, not the death of other people.

    Teenage driving proves that they can learn to be responsible enough to be trusted with the lives of others. You’re saying they can’t learn to be responsible enough with your CS skins?

        Yeah I hope you lose a ton of shit because you put trust in your kid, tell them to not cheat, and they cheat regardless.

        And I hope your child is trusted enough to drive at some point, because you invested the time and effort to trust them behind the wheel.

        I’ve had my steam account forever, so I might be overlooking something I did early on and forgot about, But I think the problem with anything along the lines of what you’re proposing is that they don’t have the time or ability to confirm that each steam account does belong to a different individual. This would either result in super intrusive amounts of data collecting, or risk someone saying “oops, look at that, my 15th child just got banned for hacking!” And then adding yet another “family member”?

        Where do you draw the line in the above scenario? At least the current policy is clear.

            It’s much easier to bag on an idea than it is to come up with one, isn’t it?

            Do you have any proposals that you think would be better?

                Humor me here.

                My assumption is that steams main goal is to provide paying users with good service by minimizing hackers, and second to that, provide QOL features like family share.

                Do you agree with that assumption? If not, what do you think the priorities are?

                If you do agree with the assumption, what would you have done differently to accommodate both those priorities and your complaint?

                    Valve could have just banned the account that was actually cheating, send a mail to the owner, and let them disable the sharing. Punish after.

                    So what if a hacker just makes a new account, and adds that to the family and continues ruining the experience of others?
