Hey guys and gals Valve has announced a Family Sharing system for Steam this allows users to share their game libraries with family and friends. Users may only access a shared library one at a time so if you're playing something and someone wants to play one of your games they have to wait. The library owner will always take the priority, so if someone's in your library and you want to play say Rome II they'll have a few minutes to quit playing or purchase the game they're running.
Steam accounts can authorize up to 10 devices at a time, however not every Steam game will necessarily be available for sharing external services such as Origin and Uplay, subscriptions, and other tech limitations may prevent you from playing someone else's games. However Valve notes that if you borrow a game you also have access to an owners DLC content.
I think that this I pretty neat espically that Microsoft took family sharing away from the Xbox One then decided to bring it back again, for more information check the Link to the official steam page where you can sing up to the beta.
