Steam Familieswill let you have up to six different users in total, inside your family group. With this new option, two users can play the same game at the same time, as long as each member has the game. You can also apply parental control to every individual user to limit what kind of games they can play. Every family member’s game purchases can be under your control and approval.
This family system allows you to see how much time each member has spent playing every game. And every aspect of parental control has been greatly improved to make the experience more appropriate for children.

Steam players seem to be happy with these changes, especially those with kids who want to track what games they access, and how much time they play. This kind of change could apply to every other platform, but each company has its own agenda for how to manage content among different users.
