  If you are on PC/Mac or Linux and use steam, and have friends/family that also use Steam remember that you can share your games with them. I shared my games with a boy from the family and the amount of games he could now play made him very happy to say the least.

  Basically you just login at their computer, go to settings, family and autherize computer and log out again. And thats it, they will get booted from shared games though if you play any of your games at the same time. If you or they play them in offline mode they don't get booted however.

  • Can you restrict some games? E.g. my little cousing can play Project Cars but not Hitman?mekk
  • Currently it's 'all or nothing'. You could login on his computer after you have shared them and limit games from his account under family settings.Nutter
  • Far from perfect though.Nutter
