Valve is mimicking Microsoft and has announced Steam Family Sharing! Share your Steam Libraries with friends and family so they can play games that you own and vice versa! The original owner supersedes borrowers and can play the game whenever they want and the borrower must either exit the game or buy it later. Check it out and join the beta! 10 Computer max, First 1000 are in, more later then eventually a feature for everyone!

I was really hoping that microsoft would have kept its drm unchanged, this would have been good enough for trading and borrowing games between friends.

 

This ^, i think the way the steam sharing works currently is you can only play one game at a time on that account which is kinda dumb...

I'm related to superskreech now

This. He has what? 400+ games? Also, it isn't for the first 1000 people, like with most betas, Steam will pick 1000 people from their group, possibly based on how many games they own, how many friends they have, etc. They claim they will be releasing more access to the beta until release, so just be sure they join the beta group. http://store.steampowered.com/sharing and http://steamcommunity.com/groups/familysharing/
