I was under the impression that if someone is playing a game from your library you can’t access it unless you boot them out (or you put steam in offline mode, meaning no updates or multiplayer for the duration). Is that no longer true?
Yeah but that’s only a problem if both of you want to play the same game at the exact same time. It’s like sharing a physical copy of a game with your friend but it instantly transports to their computer/console.
I replied the same thing to another comment, but I had thought it locked down the whole library rather than just the one game being played. I could have sworn I ran into that issue but it’s been a long time since I tried it do I suppose I misremembered.
You can just play another one of the 700. If you want to play together then you need multiple copies.
Ooooooh. I was under the mistaken impression that your whole library was locked down, not just the one game. Good to know!
They changed that in an update a couple months ago, so it’s only the game that is being played that’s locked and not the whole library
