We're definitely aware that can happen, and we have some safeguards in place to guard against it and are adding others. We'll always keep monitoring things in this area.
The problem is that we can't really block this outright, as sometimes families will share a Steam account or even a license and doing that would not be fair to them.
Just allowing one account per license would also not close off the possibility of people cheating with multiple accounts.
If people really want to cheat in this way, they can always just buy another copy or two of the game anyway, especially once it's on sale.
So no matter what, we need to have ways to protect against this sort of exploitation. So in the end, we can't promise this will never happen, but if people do it we'll definitely catch and ban them sooner or later, depending on how egregious they are.
