Can a family have more than two adults?

Yep

good to see steam being accepting of poly relationships and communes

Or, like, me sharing single player games with my buddies. But you do you.

Or simply being two parents plus an 18 year or older child.

My sons will still be my family when they celebrate their 35th birthday... They'll hopefully have their own places, but that doesn't change that they are my family.
