Are they stopping families for sharing to other countries?

[–] Kyouki 2 points 2 months ago

Yes - I believe same-region store setting & I cannot invite my gf to the Families, while we could do Library share before just fine.

How does this effect that?

My guess is this, which is way at the bottom of the support FAQ page (which can be found at the bottom of the posted FAQ section):

"I cannot join a Steam Family"

If you cannot join a Steam Family, it is likely for one of three reasons:

Your account activity does not show that you are part of the same household as the existing members.

Why not?

Replied in other posts, it likely is because you have to be in the same country/steam store region or something...
