Every pirate in Existence: THe Rest Of The World Is My Family!!!

I suppose that is why they are here begging for family sharing?

I'm "family" with 2 people who aren't in my household. One is a former flatmate who lives someplace else entirely, one is a close friend who lives in the same city.

So no, it's not "Steam household".

Same here.
My Steam family → My son. Me. His mother who live in another town. My sister who live in another country.

But all of them had connected their account once on my PC.

Same here. I'm divorced, my kids spend half the time at the ex-wife who lives across town. I've also added a nephew who lives on the other side of the country. No issues there.

Its only the invitation that requires everyone to be in the same household/PC at least once.
After that it does not matter where the people in the family live as long as its the same store country.
My 5 other Steam Family members live all at other places, some hundreds of kilometers away from me.

Have you exactly gone through your settings to see if you have them set correctly? Are you already in a family group?

Well I really don't understand then... I contacted Steam support about this issue 2 days ago, here is their answer:

Steam Families is intended for members of the same household. Your Steam activity does not indicate you are in the same household as the other members. Because of this, we are not going to modify or remove this restriction.

I even proposed to send both ID or any requested document to prove we are brothers...

Steam checks the IP login history of any account you are inviting to a Steam Family. If you both did not login to Steam on the same network or better the same PC in the past they dont count you as same household.
As a workaround you need to login to the same PC with your Steam accounts right after each other.
First the one being invited and then the one sending the invite. Log into Steam, wait a few minutes then switch to the other account and send out the invite.
It will now work because for Steam it shows you both logged in at the same location.
Once they are in the family it does not matter anymore from where they login to Steam as long as its the same country.

Well I'm not saying Steam is unfair with the new rule.
It's just that the new rule can only apply to parent-control... so the feature has become poorly named at best and completely useless for most people in my opinion.

Really? How?

I would think that an adult would like their own independence and control over things instead of staying linked or shackled in to restrictions. It just make sense that the intended target of Steam Family would primarily be for children.

The whole "why can't I keep sharing my account with my adult siblings 2000 miles away!" thing, has always baffled me that people thought it should be that way. /shrug
