Can you be in the steam family group with a dead person?
Yea but you need the owner account to authorize the computer. So next time you upgrade or wipe your gaming rig you'd be screwed unless you find a bypass and if you're working that hard, just have the password+mfa
Check out the new Steam Family Beta. My friends and I are now a polyamorus "family" as far as Steam is concerned. I can play their games, they can play mine, didn't have to touch each other's computers, and live in separate households.
oh I do hope they have improved it. When we started with steam the game borrowing was pretty great but now she can't be online when I borrow a game which is just dumb.
The new system is "they can't be playing the game you want to borrow at the same time". My friend and his partner were awkwardly sharing a copy of BG3 before we tried the Family Sharing beta, now if I'm playing something else they can both play at the same time using my copy.
yeah that sorta still stinks. so my wife and I can't help each other in elden ring but still. half a loag is better than none.
