You can do that, actually. It has some pretty big caveats, but if you are not actively playing anything on Steam then your library can be lent out to others... all you have to do is sign into their computer using your Steam credentials.
- taneq 4y agoYou can also just share your library with another account.
- waveBidder 4y agodone this, the whole account gets locked iirc, and not just specific games
- TechBro8615 4y agoWait, Steam offers you a "share library" feature but then locks your account when you use it?!
- taneq 4y agoNot as in an account ban, it just only lets one copy of the game in question (or one game total? Haven't used it much) run at any given time. No different to lending your friend a Nintendo cartridge, except that it requires less running around. :)
- Ntrails 4y agoOnly one person can play from your library at once. So you are essentially lending the whole nintendo. The frustrating thing is just that I cannot play free games on my steam account (hi dotas) whilst lending a paid game to ma famile.
- themoonisachees 4y agoThey've fixed that. I had the same problem a few years ago and now if you properly add the game to both libraries it works fine.
