Sharing purchased tables? (At least locally or through Family.)
Is there any way to share purchased tables between two accounts of related people?

Even though I get that they want each existing account to purchase tables (effectively DLC) separately, I don't see why it couldn't be a little flexible and share it between local computers or rather that new "Family"-feature on Steam. - I know it could perhaps be exploited one way or another or that it might be complicated to avoid that, but come on.

I didn't think it would be such an issue, and enlighten me if I'm just overlooking how to do it, but if it's not possible and I knew this we wouldn't have bothered with a separate account (for a standalone cabinet). It was to avoid conflict with potentially using a single account at the same time of course, but we're not going to purchase the same content in the same house twice either.

So is there any way to share currently or could it be implemented especially with the new Family-feature now?

I wouldn't recommend holding your breath while waiting for this. In fact, I have to wonder if you've properly understood the way Steam's family sharing works.

Bearing in mind that I maybe the one who got it wrong, from what I understand, for multiple people to play the same game at the same time, you'll need to own multiple copies of the game (and presumably the DLC) If you only have one copy, you can share it, but only one family member at a time can play it.

The Family Sharing setup is basically a streamlined and simplified version of the account sharing setup they used to have, not something drastically different.

Someone who has actually tried the new setup should step in and comment.

Only way you play online or locally through 2 account with family is the one who owns the table and create a Tournament to join. You can make it private for the Tournament with a created password.

Tournaments are single player only. Also not sure how many Tournament you can create most likely per account until table set time expires, so set it to an hour?

Steam family sharing works but only if your account is not being used, only 1 active account can play but ownership can take back sharing when needed.
