Through the Steam announcements blog, Valve has announced that Family Sharing will be a feature coming soon to Steam. Essentially, you'll be able to authorize a friend or family member's computer to play games within your library. You will not be able to both play games from the shared library at the same time, however, so it's a useful but limited feature. If the lender wishes to play a game the other computer is running, the other player can opt to buy the game themselves or to quit the game and let the lender play. I'll assume there's a time limit for this, but the post wasn't clear. Each user of the shared library will have their own save data and set of achivements for each game. The feature will first be available in a limited beta starting next week; a full release will be "coming soon".
