Multiple copies of the game on Steam?

Anyone know how to run multiple copies of the game via Steam?

I've got multiple computers and it would occassionally be useful to use them both for a game simultaneously.

Do you only have one account the has access to Sentinels of the Multiverse: The Video Game? If so, then to play Single-player, you just merely have to have all the computers (one can be excluded) disconnected from the Internet. At least to my knowledge, there is not a way to play a game on Steam using multiple computers, so Multiplayer can not be used.

If you don't want to hotseat then you could try using remote access to allow both terminals to control the one that is running the game? I'm assuming here that you want both computers to be running the same game. Otherwise I think you'll need two Steam accounts with a copy of the game each.

You can play on the same copy together by using in-home streaming. Start up the game on on computer, then on the other computer the button will change to say "Stream" instead of "Play".

Be careful though.  My brother and I share a Steam account, and one time he accidentally took over my computer while trying to stream a game.

 

(By took over, I mean that we both could control it, and he could see what it was displaying.)

Thanks.

 

What I'm getting from this is that if I want to buy multiple copies of the game for Steam, I need to have multiple Steam accounts.
