Question about Steamworks

[GravCat]

I while back I got FO:NV at Gamestop and then because it was a Steamworks game, I had to use it with Steam and stuff with my account. My brother wanted to download it, too, so I gave him the disc to download but then his code wouldn't work so I said, "It's probably because I already used it."

 

So, I am asking whether or not Skyrim will be able to be downloaded on to multiple Steam accounts with the same code, because my brother is saying we should just get one copy so we can save money.

No. One copy, one steam account. You'll need to buy two.

Steam doesn't work like that. You'll need two copies for two Steam accounts. You could share the account with your brother...though I don't recommend it, because I don't know if it's against the rules or he could get banned and you'd lose your games.

If two are using one account, then only one can use it at a time. Steam also checks your ISP for updates and downloads; but the default can be changed. Yes, Steam sucks.
