Steam Families - Family Plan For Six

Can we play the same game at the same time together in different accounts ?

I am guessing no...

Nvm you can't. Need to buy multiple copies that makes sense.

Can we go through a real world example of how a Steam Family might share games?

Of course! Let's say that you are in a family with 4 members and that you own a copy of Portal 2 and a copy of Half-Life. At any time, any one member can play Portal 2 and another can play Half-Life. If two of you would like to play Portal 2 at the same time, someone else in the family will need to purchase a copy of the game. After that purchase, there are two owned copies of Portal 2 across the family and any two members can play at the same time.

In this example, if your family chose to not buy a second copy, you can play any other game in your library while waiting for your family member to finish playing your copy of Portal 2.
 
I wonder if we can be in 2 families at once 😆
That doesn’t always end well…
