Play one game while they play another :O

"Though simultaneous usage of an account is prohibited, the lender is always able to play their games at any time. If the player decides to start playing while a friend is borrowing a game, the friend will be given a "few minutes" to purchase the game or quit."

From how I understand it you wouldn't be able to do that. It says "simultaneous use of an account" not of a game... Basically you can allow your kid/partner/friend to play games on your account, but never while you are using it.

Hmm....simutaneous usage of an account is prohibited.....wouldnt that defeat the purpose of this o.O - cause isnt that what this is lol.

I thought you would be able to play like for an example

Owner plays Left 4 Dead 2

Friend/Kid plays Counter-Strike GO

Well that was just how I understood the wording they used, but I agree it seems odd, and everyone else is saying it's just for simultaneous game playing (which makes sense they would block that otherwise you could buy 1 or 2 game copies between friends and play online mulitplayer)

Perhaps Steam considers each game purchase as an "account"
