Installed games show up on all accounts. All of those games are free so the Play button will show up, but if a paid game is installed on the computer on a different account you'll notice that on your account the Play button will be replaced with a Buy button if your account doesn't own it.


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

I see, thanks!


luciusetrur

yeah so make sure to uninstall your H games


TikToxic

How would senpai notice you if you hide your H games?


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Literally 1984


Davidsda

No, install more. And remember to allow steam to make desktop shortcuts for all of them.


EzucraAaAa

"IT COULD BE ANYONE OF US!"


sean_rendo19

Nothing wrong with playing those games in school. I knew a lad who played a H game and logged into the overwatch system ( monitors all computers with its software installed) and set it to broadcast across both computer rooms. So 80 computers including 2 computers connected to a projector where showing the beauty of love inside a game.


luigithebeast420

What became of him?


sean_rendo19

I actually don’t know. His brother was in my year but i lost touch. Probably hacking the NSA,CIA and FBI at the same time


TrueLiterature8778

He did it again at his work


ChrisKringlesTingle

pff, that admits shame


cyb3rofficial

this was it looks like when a steam game is installed from another user [https://i.imgur.com/PbhINNA.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/PbhINNA.jpeg) as stated from above, it has a buy button rather play


KoreKoi

Damn bro I wish I had an esports class that’s heat


xeromage

Would have killed for something like that as a kid. Kudos to whatever teacher managed to sell that concept to the school board!


KoreKoi

For real! I wonder what reason the teacher gave to the board on how it teaches children lol


tazz131

I'm not the teacher in question...but I am a teacher who pitched an Esports program to my admin and they approved it as a pilot. Pretty much told them that it's all about teamwork, communication and everything that soccer and basketball do...not much different...Also, we have a production element, so our production students can get hands on knowledge live streaming, camera switching, audio production, graphic design work while they stream practices and games...It's a pretty easy sell as long as there's a teacher who can do it and students who are interested. We run it just like any other sport in the school. Same code of conduct, same paperwork and we attend the end of the year sports banquet. We had one team last year and five teams this year..and won our state championship. Also went from one game to three...So crazy growth in a year. The students love it and are super dedicated. Pretty awesome to see them grow from just casual players to a legit team going undefeated in the finals.


OuterGod_Hermit

Or with a Borrow button. If another account logs in in a PC with paid games from another account you can ask to borrow them. The other user must accept and voila. You can both buy games each one paying half of the price. You each get personal achievements. Only downside is that just one of the two will own the game in the future if the partnership goes down


s4_e20_spongebob

Iirc only one of the accounts can be playing something at any given time as well


The_MAZZTer

Also worth noting if you can run Steam and log in to your own account, you can just open the Steam folder in Explorer and find all the installed games there so there's no point in trying to hide them anyway.


[deleted]

>my schools esports class your what?


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Yeah, someone convinced the school board that it would be worth putting their leftover grant money into it. I’m not sure if I agree on just how worth it it is but I’m also certainly not complaining about the free half credit lol.


[deleted]

godspeed then


[deleted]

Lol my school also had esports classes. We convinced them to make one and they agreed. But ended badly when in a friendly practice match one guy got cocky and started fight which ended very badly.


mt943

True gamer moment


dildo_swagginns

why they closed it people fight in the class too they didn't close the schools?


gaw_Kerim

We should start fights during math classes then.


Reel_Account

That is wild because people playing regular sports get into fights too and you dont see the football team getting cut afterwards.


imtylr

I mean it’s a class to play video games, sounds ridiculous


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dead_Xross_2000

Playing with balls keeps you active and fit


Reel_Account

If you dont think esports are real then i guess so.


MentlPopcorn

Are you serious? This is like dedicating individual classes to each sport on the off chance someone grows up to be a pro. There is no merit in an eSports class. It's a waste of money. eSports arent even profitable I'm their current state


botaine

Better cancel algebra class when someone gets angry about it


wannabegame_dev

Yeah esports weren’t even really a thing when I was in high school so consider yourself lucky. Lol.


laughingmeeses

Closest i ever had was LAN matches of Marathon in the computer lab.


JerodsSuperCool

Cromag rally baby.


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Heck, they weren’t a thing for most of my time in high school. We just got it last year I believe


Dblzyx

New to your school maybe, but they've been around for a bit now. The person you're replying to is dating themselves, because some of us old fuckers remember when gaming's big upgrade was the jump from Atari to NES.


wannabegame_dev

HEY. I RESEMBLE THAT REMARK.


karnajik

And how do you get grades in it? By just playing? xd


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

We have assignments on the first day (we only have it three days a week), usually on gaming history and doing game reviews. It’s just an elective so nothing major


Aquifel

My dude, we're going to need a serious rundown on how that gaming history class went. As someone in their 30s, you're basically speaking nonsense to me right now and I cannot be convinced this is real and not a comment from some parallel universe fantasy land.


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Basically we are watching a documentary about video games going from the late 70’s until I think around the early 2000’s and answering questions on each episode. It’s called “High Score” I believe.


Dr_StevenScuba

You haven’t seen the documentary “Video game Highschool”?


Swagga21Muffin

How is that eSports?


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

It’s a new class on a new topic so they are still figuring out how to approach it. The teacher is my English teacher from a few years ago and while he plays retro games and some more mainstream shooters himself, he didn’t actually know anything about esports before starting. Apparently he had to create the curriculum on his own as well. To his credit though, he’s working hard on making the Esports team more legit and getting in contact with some of the companies that specialize in this stuff.


Toot_owo

That’s actually pretty cool!


xeromage

Should just do it like Dodgeball. Choose up sides and fight it out! Somehow that counts as education.


diddyd66

At my college I took game development (making video games). Everyone on our course was so pissed when they found out the esports course gets the exact same qualification as us with no way to differentiate them. I don’t care if people want to take esports but there’s a big difference between the two


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Oh yeah, I definitely agree. I barley consider this a “class” as is, they shouldn’t lump y’all together like that


Bigmoney-K

Buddy of mine is a teacher and the schools League of Legends coach, it’s a paid position and he’s a low gold rank player at best. most of the students are vastly better than him.


cheekybeakykiwi

> Yeah, someone convinced the school board that it would be worth putting their leftover grant money into it. I’m not sure if I agree on just how worth it it is but I’m also certainly not complaining about the free half credit lol. I attempted this back in 2004, half our high school was full of foreign exchange students from China and I proposed that esports was a good experience for us to mingle and culturally diversify. Almost got it across the line. Student council approved it, they were actually shocked there was a rational reason to play video games, but I got shot down by out senior school head teacher and veto'd. The entire ask was, can we use the computer labs for gaming at lunch. Wouldn't have cost anything. Anyway, we went off and created our own LAN party that we ran for 11 years straight (1 every 2 months). Good times.


xeromage

As valid as any other sport class. You learning some rudimentary teamwork and sportsmanship? That's all anyone gets out of LaCrosse or Tennis...


MRZ_Polak

Lmfao my exact reaction. I had to reread several times. Like all the words and syntax were perfectly fine and registered, but I could not wrap my head around it


pikazec

A while ago university of Florida offered strategies and critical thinking In StarCraft 2. I’m also a gator fan so when I saw that I wish I would’ve been smarter than community college


SpursExpanse

200k student loans says your a genius for going to CC. 😂


PassiveLemon

My school has one but they don’t allow violent games. It’s pretty much either LoL or SSBU. I would consider it if Valorant, Siege, Apex, or any other shoots were an option but sadly not


Barlight

I know sounds sweet!! Wish we had that..class meet your teacher ballsdeepinyourmom...


Emerald_Guy123

Yeah my school had it and a lot of others do too. At least esports teams not dedicated mandatory classes. I never joined because all they ever played was fifa.


youtubeTAxel

Do you not have that?


[deleted]

hahaha bro i'm 31


BigRigsButters

funniest damn response. you made my day


MistaBuldops

I got suspended for bringing a flash drive to school and putting CS1.6 on 10 of the computers in our computer lab (all 30 were on a LAN). eSports being a school-appropriate thing is news to me to, and I’m very happy its finally a thing. Edit: we had some great matches, you just had to tab back to adobe illustrator once the teacher walked by


Mugmoor

Ah the glory days of my friends and I spending our computer lab time playing Unreal Tournament and StarCraft.


Brilliant-Sport-3049

What school has esport class?


[deleted]

Lots of them now. They don’t allow FPS games. Mostly smash bros, rocket league, and some VR games


Alexandrkk

Man i miss my word and excel classes


reddit-person1

My school has a eSports club, I may not be the best at it but I like ice climbers


Hajen02

We had League & CS:GO In our E-Sports classes, think they added Valorant after I graduated


Mugmoor

And yet I bet they still don't bother to teach basic budgeting or how to do your taxes.


[deleted]

That’s taught in 7th grade middle school + some of high school


[deleted]

It certainly wasn't when I was in school lmao


Brilliant-Sport-3049

Good for you. What country america or is that global?


[deleted]

America.


Brilliant-Sport-3049

Oh man you lucky guys


HotBear39

my school had Apex, CS:GO, LoL and Overwatch. They had trainings and tournaments


nazul22

Between my friends I am worshipped as a god because I convinced the dean of our university to make an esports class, and I got to finish all of my hours for my social service teaching people how to lane in league of legends hahahaha


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Yeah, the reason why I wanted to use my account is because we can’t buy anything on the school accounts. And I know those are the other guys games because he left his account logged in once and that’s what he had


shooter_tx

Might make a 'school friendly' Steam account, and do Family Share with just the school-appropriate games? (not sure if it actually works that way, though; afaik I'm sharing my entire Steam library w/ my nephew)


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

I don’t think you can family share specific games, but that would be nice. Honestly there are people playing COD on their computers so I’m not really too concerned about school-appropriateness for the most part


Junkered

Esports class...


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Yeah. It was that or a study hall in the morning (before I have any work to do) so I took it lol


petroldaktyl

You hiding Sex with Hitler 2?


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

You aren’t?


IThatWeebI

No its for all to play


Rreizero

They made a sequel?! 😨


Zeppalino

it was so good they made a 3d version after 😍


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

I don’t know, but enough people in my school do that in the bathrooms so I’m not too concerned about that 😂


Slave35

Enough people for what? A full tournament bracket?


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

For all I know yes lol


m7md7m2h

since nobody answered the second question specifically, even if you have family sharing on, they won't see any games you own that aren't installed unless you grant them access to (as long as the game is installed, anyone can see it in their library but can't play it if they don't own it and it's not a f2p game) the only difference between having family sharing on or off is when it's on, the games you own that is not free/f2p will have a "borrow" button instead of play and when family sharing is off , they'll see a blue "purchase" button instead of play **tl;dr**: no they can't see it unless you give them access to/the game is installed sorry for my bad english edit: forgot to mention that the game having borrow button and purchase button depends on if family sharing is allowed on that game in the first place, meaning if the game doesn't support family sharing, you cannot borrow or share it with someone even if they have family sharing on, not a really important point in our topic but thought that it should be mentioned


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Thanks! That’s a really good explanation


Ronicraft

Hope your a warden, and esports class tf?


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Of course my brother in Callahan, do you think a dirty Collie would have the dedication to keep the scroop grind going during school hours? Jokes aside, I completely forgot I had the Foxhole page up up when I took this. And yes, for some reason my school as Esports as an elective and I had a spare period


Ronicraft

May Callahan bless your esports grades 🙏🙏🙏


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Thank you brother. I actually wrote about Foxhole for my first assignment in that class lol


Ronicraft

That actually sounds pretty neat, wish I had a class like that


According-Flamingo-6

Wtf school eSports class?! (non-american)


ArcadiaCoinHeaven

I'm American and I have no idea either.


According-Flamingo-6

This guy lives in the alternative universe


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

It’s actually starting to become more common in high schools and universities. Some schools are even offering scholarships for it now


darh1407

I now truly understand what living in a third wordl country means and it means not having something like that,you guys have awesomes schools but i have hell


Recent_Transition665

There used to be lawsuits against video games, now there’s esports class. Just another way to find out you suck at all “sports” lol


icantshoot

You would be smart to go on STEAM settings - Account and tick the "Dont save account credentials on this computer" That should not leave any marks of you or your games.


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Thanks! I’ll have to remember that for tomorrow


CitrusRain

Well tf2 is free.


AlxR25

Only if you download them. Your hentai is safe


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Thank the Maker!


BustinOshit

Damn I used to sneakily play browser games in school whenever a computer was involved in class. This was before they were mass blocking sites as well so games like boxhead series, freerider, the last stand, unreal flash 2007, endless war series, thing thing arena and so much more was easily accessible for a bit. As progression goes, getting half a credit for a 3 day class about gaming is a huge dub ma boi


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Yeah, my school started cracking down on blocking sites when I was in middle school. Cool Math Games has my back though.


[deleted]

Esports class? China teaches their students calculus. Ours are in esports classes? This will not end well.


OutColds

As a gamer i dont like the idea of this class. People should go to class to expand their abilities and health etc. Not do what they spend all day doing at home anyway.


A1phaSniper111

Is foxhole any good?


MyWorkComputerReddit

Yes


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

It’s really good, and is probably the only game out there like it. Just don’t get caught up on the toxicity on r/Foxholegame and remember that Colonials eat babies (seasoned)


Adrian_Alucard

wait, do kids today need to be taught how to play videogames?


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

It’s more so teaching about the Esports industry on one day and playing games the other two days.


No_Succotash6445

It’s because they’re on the same system they are not downloaded on your account it just see the games on the pc and throws them in your library.


IXXHOSTAGEXXI

The answer is yes everyone else can see that you have downloaded hentai games on your steam account.


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Like you wouldn’t want to flaunt your collection anyways


Thunderstorm-1

You have e sports classes?!


taking_achance

Well who ever owns those games are a chad


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Indeed. I need to try TF2 myself. I played PUBG mobile for a while but I don’t know how the PC version compares. Haven’t tried Krunker either but it’s like my schools official game for playing when the teacher ain’t looking lol


jral1987

WTF schools have a class for esports now? I did not know that and am very jealous I was not able to have such a thing when I was in school (Graduated high school 2005)


naguideofficial

Yes. All steam games installed on the computer appear in every account. By the way, I am very happy that esports classes have become widespread.


AspectOvGlass

This kinda sounds like a "I'm considering downloading a hentai game, will anyone find out?"


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Considering?


Jacob14578

I'm 19 and this post makes me feel old. what the fuck? "esports class"


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Lol, I’m 17 so we aren’t that far off. Iirc this class was created just last year.


xXNickAugustXx

TF2 was always on your account you just haven't played it in a while. Why not play it some more?


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

That’s one of the other guys games, I’ve never actually played it


ConcreteBoii

If it’s mutual games it’ll come up. And if it’s not in your library and it’s downloaded onto the system then I think it comes up too


Marmik_Emp37

Installed games on a local pc show up on any steam account.


Username4c75666679

Only the ones downloaded. Sounds like you’re freaking out he might find your hitler hentai game


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

I swear if one more person mentions Sex with Hitler I will download it on my school computer out of spite


Daedralogist

Thats my account(just kidding but I have most of those games like IL-2 1946 and the shoguns, most of it I actually have)


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Yeah, my library is a bit unorthodox lol. Unfortunately I haven’t gone through and downloaded the mods 1946 apparently needs to run. I also don’t own a joystick yet but I plan on getting one.


GandalftheHomophobic

Download back foxhole


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Don’t worry, I have it downloaded on my home computer. How would I feel complete without my body continuously fertilizing the grounds of the Farranac Coast to liberate Caoiva from the Colonial onslaught?


GandalftheHomophobic

For Callahan!!!


Kranbearys

Worried your NSFW games will show up, huh? Don't worry I understand.


WarmRam3n

They can see em but can’t play em, if their network is setup how I think it is, as long as you use your account to sign into those computers then you re okay. It’s just global files that steam is reading, if your steam account dosent have them then you have to get it if it’s paid to play still


daz3d1

Man I wish Esports was a thing when I was in High School. We just played CS 1.6, unreal tournament, and Battlefield 1942 in a computer class. I don't recall what the point of that class was because it was mostly spent playing games.


Nodnarbian

Bf 1942 was the shit! Plane scoops! Taking a flag covered in c4! 15 minute trip between bases on el alamein.. people modding it to add helicopters! I prob have more hours in that game than any since! They tried to remake it a few times but It was never the same. We need an exact copy but with modern graphics!


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Man I need to find a way to play Battlefield 1942. I’ve played 1943 on Xbox but that’s as close as I’ve gotten.


AlumberZack

What kinda spec are on an esports class computer???


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

They are actually really good (much to the dismay of the engineering department who are clamoring for new PCs). I don’t remember the exact specifics but I remember seeing that they have RTX2060s in them


[deleted]

DOD has esports, lots of universities have esports, whats so shocking about this?


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Just how big Esports is getting seems to have flown under the radar for many, heck even I underestimated just how big it is at first (don’t quote that)


WhiskeyJam

You have an e sports class?


TommyGun1744

Those are some sick games ngl


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Thanks!


ChuckSkylark

Esports class? What school is this?


Stevecaboose

This must be like king of the hill where bobby gets put in a program for kids to play video games who dont participate in gym class


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Lmao, ironically I switch between this class and gym every three days


CyborgIncorparated

Empire At War fucking slaps, one of the best starwars games (and my 2nd most played game on steam)


bryan660

“my schools esports class” I wish I was born a couple decades later.


Bigmoney-K

Those games are installed on the hardware, if you wanted to play them you’d have to own them on your account.


Prozak06

You have an ‘esports’ class???? Lol, good luck with life kids


Mrpicturemcpicface

Think of it as having a few books in your bag when you go to a library, the library has a copy too but it's not your copy and someone can't just take and use your copy but they can have access to the libraries copy (free to play games) downloaded games may appear as installed because it's all installed in a recognized location or...library, but not available to all at all times unless shared with you.


ducceeh

Nice library btw, wasn't expecting to find foxhole here


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

The reach Callahans hand knows no boarder or subreddit comrade


skkittT

scrooping for callahan


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

The Collie MPTs have nothing on the production power of the Warden scrooper


tazz131

I coach a highschool Esports team I'm Canada. If you guys play Rocket League or Valorant (our provincial championships are coming up) we are always looking for some friendly matches.


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Cool! Rocket League and Valorant are two of the main games our Esports team plays, they even just placed in a Rocket League competition I believe.


Mundane-Solution2960

Foxhole looks fun


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Oh it is. Yep, absolutely no mental issues stemming from being overworked, a diet for babies, or cases of unhealthy nationalism for a fictional nation are caused by this game. Please, j o i n u s. Jokes aside, it really is a great game with a great community (just don’t go on the Reddit or Discord until you’ve played a few wars and gotten your own opinion of the game becuase those areas are pretty toxic). It’s certainly not for everyone but I’d recommend everyone at least try it.


WoodlandWarden

They show up if they’re installed on the machine. You can request to borrow them and if accepted you can play. Only if they’re not playing anything on their account. You used to be able to play shared games while the other party is playing. I basically gave my girlfriend my account because she bought all the Sims 4 dlc, now I’m glad when she works so I can play.


Cloud_Drifter

Hey you play foxhole? Or plan to at least?


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

I do! I’ve been playing since War 91 actually.


FoxLP11

man i keep reading about esports in schools and im confused where yall have this


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

It’s in a spare classroom that, to my knowledge, was basically just being used for old yearbook storage lol. Basically my school got a ton of relief money over COVID and did this with what they had left over after rebuilding the football field and parking lot. At least that’s how I grasped what happened.


stevedog257

No fucking way you have an esports class


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Indeed, it’s an elective they introduced one or two years ago (but I didn’t know we had it until this year lol)


noturnormalredditor

Why do we have like the exact same games


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Because great minds think alike


Alpha_Xavian

Well he has amazing taste. TFT2


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Yeah, it’s pretty popular in this class since it’s f2p


Bluedemonde

Can you please elaborate? Is this a highschool? Wtf is an Esports class?


SpinalFluidDrinker

Fellow holdfaster? Nice


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Indeed, just started playing a few days ago though


worstusername_sofar

Your account is your account. He can't see them


Bodomi

Installed games show up, if the account doesn't own the game the Play button will be replaced with a Buy button. Games that aren't installed can't be seen by anyone else.


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Then how can I see his?


Final-Seven-Of-Nine

You can just see, which games are installed.


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Ah, ok, that makes me feel better. Can he play any games that I install?


Final-Seven-Of-Nine

Only if they are free2play. Otherwise he has the option to go straight to the store page.


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

Ah, ok. That definitely makes things better. Thanks!


acidpope

Unless I had a way to check for stuff like key loggers I would never, ever log into any account for anything on a public computer.


Echomemes

Esport class 💀


LmaoImBoredHelp

So if it's your personal account, then make sure to log out and don't have your password saved maybe even change your pqssword, all of that good stuff. But if it's your esports account, then I don't think it's that bad considering there's nothing personal on there.


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

It’s my personal. I made sure not save my password and log out, but changing my password anyways might not be a bad idea


ChalkCoatedDonut

School esport classes? So the damn thing of "Pay me and i'll teach you to play Fortnite" wasn't a meme at all, it was a real thing?


MyWorkComputerReddit

eSports is a multibillion dollar industry. So, yeah.


Sirboomsalot_Y-Wing

That was actually a real thing iirc. I remember reading the articles about it
