> I'm not sure I understand. Is your idea that instead of per-person accounts, you would create new accounts for subsequent copies, and then the family would work out who logs in as what user?
Yep - that is the intended behavior at present, near as I can tell. Swap accounts as necessary.
> Families wanting to play co-op games together is a niche?
No, but hotdesking and a licensing service is something I don't think I've ever heard friends with kids ask for. (Steam has a licensed/hotdesked model for businesses, where that is a more common thing.)

It's an interesting idea, but I don't want to buy a copy for every family member when we'll never use more than 2 simultaneously. > No, but hotdesking and a licensing service… Steam Family Library Sharing already checks that there's an available license, and that it's not currently in use. I just want the ability to buy multiple licenses. Or better yet, I'd prefer that Valve and other game app stores do what Apple does, and allow users within families to play whatever's "on the shelf", separately or together.
