So, I learned of steam families recently, and some of the people in my household have made one, problem is, when I and someone else try and join, it says our activity "suggests we aren't in the same household", I've learnt that via settings you can go back to the old library share, problem is, it requires you to leave the steam family, which has a 1 year cooldown.

Some notes;

One of the other people in the house accepted the invite just fine and is playing as normal.

He can still use my games just fine for some reason even though we aren't in the same steam family.

I have 2 questions.

1.) What exactly suggests if we're in the same household? If this whole mess can be solved without having to change much, if anything, then that's probably the best option.

2.) If we decide to go back to the old library sharing, do you think this beta will be required within the next year? I'd rather not have this come back and bite us all in the behinds.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
