What if you're in multiple families (polycules)?
Edge case that almost affects nobody. Just make 1 family for all or create a second acc and put it in a second family. And if they add it it would probably be abused more than used for it's intended use.
Lots of people are in multiple families. Probably even most people. Most people have two sets of cousins. And lots of people have a family of their parents and siblings and a family of their spouse and kids. I have steam library sharing with my partner and my partner has library sharing with its roommate, who has library sharing with other people. Is this new system gonna screw us?
There is a max amount of people and they have to be in the same country otherwise it doesn't matter so far. But they are probably watching it for abuse.
They're introducing new rules about being in the same country?? Fuck, this news gets worse and worse.
That is a bit fucked up for Europe, where it's much more likely to be on the border of another country.
Plus queer people are more likely to have international families due to the discrimination. Especially queer people from queerphobic countries like Saudi Arabia. This rule change is homophobic and racist.
