Steam Machine / SteamOS makes the PC console. Epic needs to figure out Family sharing ASAP

I have 4 kiddos at home, and would LOVE to buy Epic games on PC, but I can't justify doing this until Epic figures out a way to share games with my family group. This could be done by locking to a single "console" (just like Xbox and PlayStation does), or a fixed family group (Like Steam does it, and my preferred choice). I can't justify buying games on Epic because of this, and only use Epic for their free games when I can grab a copy for all 5 of us. To be fair, Epic is not the only one behind on this, Ubisoft and EA need to figure this out too. Valve is the only one who has figured Family sharing on PC out. I posted basically the same thing over at r/ubisoft, and am posting it here to hopefully get some attention to this situation. Let me know if I am alone in this, or if you would like this too.

Wobbly Life Pixel 9a Crashes after launch, before Menu

I wanted to setup Wobbly Life (Steam) on my daughter's Pixel 9a, but it crashes right before the menu comes up (about 10 Seconds after opening the game, and before it turns 3D). It works mostly on my Pixel 10 Pro XL about half the time. I have tried:

- Changing to Proton 10 (9 is in the default profile)

- Changing the GPU to a 1060 (minimum requirements on Steam)

- Using the legacy DRM method

- Removing the frame limiter

- adding the -dx11 flag to the game

- Turning on steam bionic

- unpack files

- various box64 settings

- changing the preset to unity

help!
