Do you lose things when leaving a family group?
If I ever leave a family group, will I lose the achievements, hours played, game saves, etc... of the games I have played within it that were not originally mine?

I understand that I would no longer have access to play those games, but they stay in the library with what I got on them?

Please note that the playtime while under a family group will also apply to a later refund of a later purchase.

I understand. And those games would still appear in my list of games, where I can see the achievements or screenshots, although I can not install them, and therefore play, until I buy them?

I don't think I have ever used a free weekend and I don't know how it works...

Those games would be hidden, but the data will be archived, until you obtain the game in a different way.

Thank you very much for the answers. You have cleared up all my doubts.

Hi! Does this mean that for games that are no longer on Steam, their data will not be available in the library either after leaving a family? e.g. Spec Ops: The Line
