Steam Family Sharing allows you to share your game library with up to 5 accounts and 10 devices. You can only share your library on devices that you authorize. Shared libraries are available only when the owner is not playing. You can't play the same game simultaneously with the owner. DLC can be shared, but «in-game purchases» remain tied to the purchaser’s account. Ensure your account isn’t flagged for cheating, as this may affect your sharing privileges.
