I already have a Steam Account and have it on this desktop PC…I do not have a Steam Account registered on my HTPC…I would like to have BRINK available on BOTH PCs, when I download Steam onto my HTPC, will it allow me to use the same account that I presently have on this Desktop PC? [UN & PW]
TKS michael

Actually, I’m getting unsure whether my answer was correct. Have you tried it out? (If not, go ahead and tell us what you find. If so, tell us what happened?)
If Steam lets you, it’s legal, I guess we can assume.
Steam is not bound to hardware, don’t activate the Steam Guard, and you can use your games on 200+ “Puters”.
You can run steam on all your computers, you can install all your games on all computers (unless they have extra drm that limit installs which brink doesn’t iirc).
You can’t be logged into steam on more than 1 computer at a time I think (think it logs you out of the other machines when you log on) and you can’t play multiplayer with yourself (or shouldn’t be able to).
Some games will even sync saves across the cloud.
I regularly have my laptop login to Steam which will then disconnect this desktop PC. Both have some of the same games on them.
Be aware that if you intend to play single player you can, once downloaded and run once, switch Steam on one of your computers to Offline mode. This will then enable you to play and leave your other PC logged into Steam.
