Good news, Steam's just introduced a better way to enjoy dodgy smut and 6/10s with your grandparents

Playing video games with your family is definitely never a recipe for arguments, and Steam’s just introduced an improved way to definitely not get into such arguments. Steam Families, now available in beta, will let you do a bunch of stuff with your loved ones, including play very mid games at the same time.
