How to do the old library sharing thing?
Hi everyone!

I remember it was possible to share the entire library to "a device", not to a person or to a family.
What I have to do to make the same again?
I want to share my library to my friend.

I'm perfectly fine into having someone use my library while I am not using ANY of my games.

The old Sharing is gone once you use the new Sharing.

In this page I can still see the old method:

... is that page obsolete? Old information?

Obsolete information.
"Steam Families" has left the BETA 2 weeks ago and has now completely replaced the old sharing system.
For users who already had the old system set up it will work for a short while longer so they have time to switch to Steam Families.
But its no longer possible to set up new connections with the family share system since all options for that have been removed from the Steam client.
So if you are currently not part of a existing family share net from before Steam Families came out you are out of luck.
Going forward Steam Families is the ONLY way to share games on Steam.

Build a time machine and use it to go into the past.
That would be the only way to use the old one.

It's just still there until the full transition occurs. There are many that haven't even logged into Steam for months.

They'll take it down once it is forced upon all accounts.
