I've been using Steam for donkey years and i've never attempted shared Win-user accounts for gaming via steam and i'm oblivious to the pros/cons. So...
1 gaming PC, 2 Windows user accounts, 1 Steam account - i understand both users can access the same games but only 1 at a time. What i'm not sure about is, will game progress be saved independently per Windows user account or will both users be stepping on each others feet - Ouch!?
Today, briefly googling, i believe I have found the solution with "steam family sharing" but fancy double checking with you guys first. I also read somewhere not all games are supported with this feature. Bottom line, i'm not keen on allowing anyone else fiddling with my personal gaming progress/achievements. If not possible, i'm happy to purchase the games again (only 3-4 which are of interest to other users) with a second steam account for the second windows user account.
