Wait, now someone can play a game from my library while Im playing another? That’s huge
Same thoughts. Mainly because it’s such a pain to explain how the library access system works in the previous family share.
Now just need to be able to ‘hide’ some games from sharing and we are good to go!
I’m pretty sure you can set games as private now, but it sure took them some time.

It’s not clear if that hides games from being shared. The info page explicitly states that ALL eligible games are shared.

To get control of what an account can and cannot see/play, the account has to be configured as a child.

I marked some games as private and they indeed do NOT show up on the other families users library. Seems to work like a charm!
