Hello !! I'm still quite new to steam and wanted to ask a question. Recently I created a family sharing group with a few friends and added them
I quickly realized however in the library tab in family management there were 3 new games there, team fortress 2, Dota 2 and spacewars. I checked on my main library and didn't find them there either. I didnt download any new games recently and haven't downloaded pirated apps or mods, can someone explain whats up and why I cant remove them?

Do the people you added have accounts? If yes, did they add those games to their libraries?

Yup they have accounts. They didnt add these games to their library no, in fact we decided to experiment and each of us made our own family with none of us in it and all of us had these 3 games in our library in the same tab in the family managment thing but they dont appear in our main library on our accounts (we are 3 people)

Technically everyone on Steam has access to those three titles. It's nothing to worry about. Can't explain why they would show up in your list of games under the Family Management tab. They just do.

Spacewars is (automaticly) used as third party to play cracked mp games.
Maybe made better choice to had "friends" on your Steam family...

There are valid uses for Spacewar as well, but as I said one does not need to have used it for it to show up in the Family Management screen.

I only have Dota2 in my library, because I added it 10 years ago (and I didn't like it and never play again)

Spacewars and TF2 don't appear anywhere in my personal or family library(4 members).

I agree spacewars is valid for some use, but under these conditions, we know it's there and we know why, just like FiveM or SKSE.

Never a good idea to add randoms to your library.. Its family sharing not friend sharing. Either way not a good idea they can get you banned or worse.

A lot safer like that, for me its me and my brother and he seldom uses steam.. hes mostly PS5.

These are like 2 of my close friends that I know irl and I checked if they perhaps downloaded any pirated games and they didnt. And as I said, i tried making a family with just me in it and checked the family library to find these 3 games still there despite me never adding them in my library or played any pirated games.
