It replaces both Steam Family Sharing and Steam Family View, giving you a single location to manage which games your family can access and when they can play. Create a Steam Family To get started, you can create a Steam Family and then invite up to 5 family members.

This was previously available as a opt in beta, but is now available for everyone.

    No, many steam games use steam to verify if you own the game. It’s up to developers if they require their game to have steam drm or not.

    If the game doesn’t have Steam DRM, you can just copy the game folder and run it anywhere. But many games will require steam (with an account that owns the game) to be running before they’ll open.

      See, that’s what I thought, because I have tried to put a game once on another PC and it didn’t work. So, it makes sense now, it depends on the devs. This is why I like gog. You just have the .exe and you can install it anywhere you want
