steam family sharing is a scam

family sharing should mean you share the game while being able to play the game with your family. not that only one family member can play at a time. "family sharing" is a joke.

Publishers don't want people to abuse family sharing to essentially get free games.

Doesn't the new beta resolve this?

You want to look for the Remote Play Together Steam feature.

"free feature that lets you share a library" how exactly are they scamming you when they make NO money from it. what is the scam?

In short, you are using that word, it doesn't mean what you think it means

Scam? When they tell you exactly what you can and cannot do?

Will I be punished for any cheating or fraud conducted by other users while playing my games?

Your Family Library Sharing privileges may be revoked and your account may also be VAC banned if your library is used by others to conduct cheating or fraud. Additionally, VAC-banned games cannot be shared. We recommend you only authorize familiar computers you know to be secure. And as always, never give your password to anyone.

Remember not only are you responsible for your own accounts security, but also for the security of familiar authorized family computers.
