TL;DR

Valve has introduced Steam Families, an upgraded version of its household game sharing tools, allowing up to six family members to share a combined games library with certain restrictions. The new feature includes offline play, individual saved games and achievements, and parental control tools. Games are only eligible for sharing if developers haven't opted out, and a single owned copy of a game can only be played by one person at a time. Beta testing is available for those interested in trying out the new feature.
