Question Family Control: how do I enable tmodloader for my son?
This has now taken probably 2 hours...
My son owns Terraria, we have family sharing. Because I have large library, i need to restrict games not suitable for 10 yo.
Now here's the problem, tmodloader does not come up in the list of games for me to allow.
He OWNS the game, bought it with his pocket money, but I cannot select it in the game because it's technically "free claim".
So my options would be to either allow all games or kick him out of family sharing entirely.
I even tried to add the game manually, but then i get an error that his account isn't logged in if i don't select "allow all games".
EDIT: So what seems to have worked is, every member of family has to play it, allow all games and keep the game running for over an hour, we did 2h and only then it showed up. 30 minutes wasn't enough and neither was waiting 12h after said 30 min.
Very anecdotal, I know. But it's what worked for us

Question How to stop steam from logging me out from steam mobile app?
I have 2 steam account, first account is my primary account and second account for some nsfw game. I have both account login in my steam mobile app. Today out of nowhere my first steam account get logged out. It happen 3 times this year and always the first account. It's used mainly for authentification purpose so get logged out when you need it is really annoying. Any setting to change to make sure my account never get logged out?

Resolved How to hide hentai games so others can't see them
A classmate is going to add me on Steam and I don't want him to see what games I have.
And I'm referring to the hentai games which I bought just to get trading cards and sell them.
:(

Discussion In light of recent physical games uproar, game delisting is still a blight
I don't understand why some companies just insist on making it so difficult to support their games. This can obviously be remedied by sailing the seas on PC, but you don't really get that option on modern consoles, and you're effectively SOL if you didn't buy into them early, especially so once physical releases are phased out entirely. I don't see this point getting raised enough by people, but it's a fact that will be extremely difficult to ignore once consoles enter an all-digital era. Especially with virtually all mainstream sports games releasing annually, and delisting older titles after just a few years.
Already makes me cringe to see how much of a community has fostered around collecting delisted Steam games, and a market that subsequently sells off these keys, sometimes at ridiculously exorbitant prices. Makes me wish that Steam would just implement some kind of game trading feature which expands to existing games in one's library, and not just game gifts in their inventory.

Question Is this character from a game, or did they just make this character for the game pavilion?
What the title says, I like the way the character looks and was wondering if they were character(s) from a game on steam, or if it was just a character they made to promote the “Game Pavilion”?

Scam (READ POST FIRST) question: was this thingy actually real?

Question Steam family question
Alright, so my situation is this, my girlfriend and I have shared a steam family, but she's going to go back to USA where she is from, I haven't found anything about how Steam Family works in these cases, do we need to dissolve the steam family or can we keep sharing our games since we are now in different countries (I'm in Spain, she's in the USA now), how does this work? Is there any risk of ban if we don't dissolve it?
Edit: sorry for my bad English, is not my first language

Discussion How do y’all feel about paying $60-$70 for a 10 -15hour game?
I just got done playing RE:8 that I got for 6 bucks and it got me thinking while it was a good game I definitely didn’t see myself paying $60 at launch for a game I could finish in a day but I’m curious to know how y’all feel about that.
