Not that I am aware of. I know you have to have two instances of the game which would assume two separate accounts when using Steam.

This would assume you mean playing both instances at the same time. You can always use a Steam account on pretty much any device you log on and download required files.

That would only lead to people cheating their way to achievements, if you were to do 1 title with 1 account but on two different systems. As said above, you're going to need another account and physically have that title in question in the library of the other account, no going around it.

yes you can "share" a game but you can not both play it at the same time.

you can set it up under the family tab in steam settings. you have your own steam account but it gets linked to your friend's account and you can access whatever he has in the library. basically you can share everything in the library on separate pc's. you just can't play the same game at the same time. you each get your own achievements and such so it all stays separate.

i do not know the limits of the family share feature. my account is shared with 2 of the kids so you can at least do that many. you'll have to look into that piece for limits on how many can share. :)

but again keep in mind that only one person can play a game at one time. so you're not going to play multiplayer together off of one single library. so long as you understand that, then you can piggy back off each other.

you can't play the same game, it doesn't matter if it's co op or mp?

you can't have multiple people play the game at the same time with one owned copy. it does not work that way.

sorry but there is no way to do what you are asking. 1 person can play it at a time, if you want to play together then you need more than one owned copy of the game.

yes if your friend is playing and you try to start the game from the same account, it will not let you. it will tell you to wait until it is not being played. no way around it.

The game you mentioned is A Way Out which can be played coop. You can play together via parsec or steam remote play but requires a controller.

for steam remote play just go on the game then press tab+shift where you will see 'Invite' or something like that. Press Create invite then send the link to your friend (which has a steam account ) and play together.
