Multiple Steam accounts?

[Pear]

I was wondering if you can have multiple steam accounts from one computer. I'd want one for me and one for my brother. I don't care if he plays single player games on my account, but it irks me when I go on the computer after letting him play DoDS for 25 minutes and my KD ratio has dropped .50 points. XD I got him a Steam account, but none of the games are available for him to play. They all just say, "Pre-Load Complete" :/
Is there a way to remedy this?

The only way they wont be "Pre-load complete" is if he buys the game on his account.

I do the same with a friend, I play more demanding games on his account and I have alot more games than he does and any that I don't have say "Pre-load complete".

Aww, that's disappointing.
Hopefully they'll release a fix for this in the future.

I doubt it, as other people can just swap passwords, sign in and play games they then don't have to pay for.

Edit: Well, you can now swap passwords etc. to play games you don't technically own. But what I mean is playing off the same computer.

Yeah. Games you buy will only remain on the account that bought those games. Like Andy said, without this feature, people could just swap passwords and trade all their games.
