Check out the new Steam Family Beta. My friends and I are now a polyamorus "family" as far as Steam is concerned. I can play their games, they can play mine, didn't have to touch each other's computers, and live in separate households.

oh I do hope they have improved it. When we started with steam the game borrowing was pretty great but now she can't be online when I borrow a game which is just dumb.

The new system is "they can't be playing the game you want to borrow at the same time". My friend and his partner were awkwardly sharing a copy of BG3 before we tried the Family Sharing beta, now if I'm playing something else they can both play at the same time using my copy.
