Don't get it. Devs are super anti consumer. Don't allow modding, don't allow family share on steam. Don't even allow you to stream it to another device with big picture. They are in the proccess of switching to a terrible anti cheat system.
I think disallowing family share is typically done to prevent a hacker from just hopping onto a family-share account to evade a ban on the main account. At least with family share disabled, the hacker now needs to purchase the game again.
Would definitely love to see mods, although adding support for them isn’t always simple (esp. when your game is receiving frequent updates in a beta phase).
