This is possible when connecting with a cable, and having another add-in/usb card.

I don't think the computer can join 2 wireless hotspots at the same time.

You can't have two networks with default gateways. If you know specific IP addresses you want to access you can MANUALLY do this. It is not trivial.

Can you explain the procedure please

You configure one interface with a default gateway (or use DHCP). You configure the other interface manually with no gateway. You manually add routes to that interface for specific IP addresses you wish to access via that path.

Why not just swap between wireless networks as needed?

I don't know. Can you get specific IP address(s) to force over that link? I am not a gamer so I don't know how steam networking works.

I will say that for most people, this just isn't worth the hassles.
