Is there a way to share games I already own with friends? I haven't played Skyrim in a long time, and my friend wants to play it, is there a way that I can lend it to him? Something to do with steam family sharing?

He has to log in with your acct on his comp, and buried in some settings you can allow your games on that PC. Then on your acct you can allow his acct to use your games. It's complicated.

 

This is a fairly good tutorial.

You can allow him access, and then he can play your copy of Skyrim on his own account using Family Sharing . However, it will kick you off if you are in the game library and he joins in, or vice-versa.

How do you do that? I know that feature was supposed to be coming but I never understood how to use it and if it's already implemented or not...

 

-edit-

 

nvm I found out

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
