[–] jumjummy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Does this mean we can “opt out” of the families beta and just use the main client again? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz [S] 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) No, Steam families is now out of beta and is the default for all users I think. I'm not sure how long you can keep using the existing family sharing, but I'm guessing at some point you'll be forced to swap over. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jumjummy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago I just checked the client and looks like it rolled everyone who was in family beta back to “No beta chosen”. That’s actually what I meant with that question, and I wasn’t clear enough. To originally get the new family sharing to work, I needed to select the family sharing beta build, but it automatically seems to have put me back on the “normal build” since this feature rolled out. permalink fedilink source parent
