No idea what you’re talking about; I’ve played two games from steam plenty of times while waiting for something in a game.
Hmm. I remember steam saying it can't run a game because the same account was using a game on another PC. Maybe something changed since then. I'll check it out again. Thanks for the info.
You're correct, the other commenter missed the "2 computers" part of your comment.
You can run multiple Steam games at the same time on the same PC, but not on different PCs.
That is, unless you take advantage of Steam's "offline" mode. If you launch Steam in offline mode on the secondary computer, you'll be able to play already-downloaded Steam games on that PC, while still being free to play Steam games normally on the primary computer.
Interesting. Perhaps I'll try doing the single computer thingy.
