I'm not sure that would be the best solution. A cheater could still get caught cheating 6 times before requiring a repurchase, and it's still a pretty harsh penalty for someone who didn't cheat. You keep your game, but you can no longer share your library if your family situation changes.

'Sorry, son, you can't play my games on your computer because daddy made a bad decision when he was 21.'

The ultimate solution is probably an online identity when playing any game. Imagine if cheating got you banned from all online games for 5 years.

Yeah, it's most likely to prevent someone from using the family feature to get away with cheating.

As it stands now, if you get caught cheating you must create a new account and repurchase the game. So the main deterrent is the full cost of a game.

With the steam family function you could potentially create 5 new accounts per year, and simply remove them when they get caught cheating. The only deterrent would be the wait period.

So I agree with their decision. The downside is that you must trust someone before adding them to your family. If your cheating son gets you kicked off counterstrike, then just remove him from your family. They're never too old to drop off at the fire station.

School shootings (and JD Vance) are symptoms of a diseased society.

Some of y'all didn't grow up in the southeastern US and it shows.

Not all of the teachers in my school were unreasonable narcissistic sadists, but about half of them were.

His role in The Frankenstein Chronicles always made me chuckle.

SpoilersHe gets murdered in a period fantasy setting, but they do him the honor of bringing him back to life.

Maybe the cat was a Japanese businessman in a former life.

There's only one type of tank found beneath houses and that's a septic tank.
