    Yup, hopefully this makes that smoother.

    We have three accounts linked: mine, SO, kids (they share one). I occasionally gift games to my SO and kids accounts, and each time I need to login to their accounts to accept/add the gift key or whatever. I go through this nonsense so my kids, SO, and I can play different games at the same time, but the kids can still only play one at a time (hasn’t been a problem so far).

    I have three kids and haven’t made individual accounts because it’s annoying enough as it is to manage three, but if this makes it easier, I’ll probably get them their own accounts.

      I already tried it, apply ASAP for the Family Beta. Now both of my kids can simultaneously use my library as long as they play a different game. Before, only one of my kids was allowed to borrow from my library, the rest of it was locked down. Amazing update.

        There was a pretty big work around for that, as long as only one person is in “online” mode on Steam, you can technically have infinite people playing at once. Of course that only works if most people want to play a single player or local LAN game.
