revoke the family sharing then you can play.

Set the game to private or remove them from the family. They can rejoin the same family share at any time the 1 year cool down is for a new family share.

You could call them and tell them to get off the game.

Should it not kick him out if he play it, so i dont think you need to do anything, problem is more why you cant start it. ( as fare as i know that how it should work owner take precedence over own game and he cant kick you out of it, i dont think steam will change this ever.

We are talking about the new Steam Family BETA and no, owner no longer has precedence in the new family system. Every adult in the family has the same rights for every game in the sharing pool.

@OP Thats why the new system is meant for close family members in the SAME household and not "friends" who live somewhere else.
In the intended scenario you can just go over to your family member in the same house and tell them you want to play your game now.

Original owner own problem . gl with it your choise.

Because Steam Families is for families in the same household. You should be able to walk to the other room in the household to tell them to get off.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
