Now you can borrow PC games too... sort of.
As the consoles become more and more like PCs, Valve's Steam is becoming friendlier to the living room.
Want to play this game?
See a family member's installed game that you want to play? Send them a request to authorize the computer. Once authorized, the lender's library of Steam games become available for others on the machine to access, download and play.
Only one person can access a steam library at a time, so if you're borrowing from my account I can't play until you're done (though the account owner can kick off other devices).
