Completely anecdotal but I was able to add my brother-in-law to my Steam family without any problem and he lives about 125km from me.
The requirement is absolutely something more arcane than "same household" and Valve are keeping quiet on the actual specifics. It's possible that the fact that I've been there multiple times and have logged into Steam on their wifi in the past was enough to confirm that this is a place with close relation to me. Who knows though.
It's just like all the steaming services. They'll look the other way for a time, but then crack down whenever it makes the most financial sense.
As long as we support Epic then we can avoid Steam’s enshittification
No, that's not it. Drag's dragon has been to drag's house and signed into steam on drag's PC, but we weren't able to get family sharing working.
ITT: SWIM uses Steam.
