Are there any privacy risks or restrictions when it comes to family sharing on an alt account?

[Woligi]

I’ve created a new Steam account and want to use family sharing to play some of the games on my old account on this new account. I’ve heard that CS:GO has limitations when using family sharing, such as not being able to access one’s inventory or get item drops, but I only plan to play singleplayer games. Do singleplayer games have similar restrictions?

Also, if I start family-sharing from my old account, can anyone see that the two accounts are connected? I don’t want the two accounts to be associated with each other.

Thank you.

CS:GO can not be shared.

That aside, if a borrower cheats, the ban is shared to you.

Some games share in game inventories. All up to each dev.

No. They can not see the connection unless you let them know.

CS:GO has the limitation of it isn't shareable, at all.

Go here and look at the list to see what isn't eligible for family share.

Oh, I thought I read somewhere that CS:GO can be shared but that it has limitations. Maybe it could before but not anymore.

Anyway, I only plan to family-share singleplayer games. Do you know if any singleplayer games have any limitations when family-sharing? I don’t want to start family-sharing a game only to find out later down the line that there are certain restrictions or limitations.

Also, will the playtime of the family-shared game be visible on my profile, and will I get achievements? I assume I won’t be getting trading cards.
