Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Mar 9 2017, at 22:27:47
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [Yes/No] No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: [Yes/No] No

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Describe what you expected should happen and what did happen. Please link any large code pastes as a Github Gist

Steps for reproducing this issue:

What I expected to happen:

  1. Open a game (any game; I used Half-Life 2)
  2. Open another game while Half-Life 2 is running
  3. It wouldn't run because Steam can only show the name of one game you are playing

What actually happened:

  1. Opened a game (Again, I used Half-Life 2)
  2. Opened another game while Half-Life 2 was running, and it opened. I can run as many games as I want at the same time, it seems
  3. Lag out my computer because I accidentally opened multiple games, which is how I discovered this bug

And yes, the games were opened via the Game Library. Link to a photo of it:

This behavior is consistent with steam on other platforms and is intended for single player games.
