Steam account changed

I have Dota 2 on my PC on a steam account. If I create another account will I loose my games or will they be in the second account also?
Any solutions if I want them in another account?


Solution 1:

If you create a second account for Steam to play Dota on it then you will not lose your games or anything linked to your current Steam account. However you will have to 1. Sign out of your current account and sign into the new one to actually play Dota 2 on it and 2. Repeat this step everytime you want to play Dota on each account.

With Steam however there is a mechanic in the client that should you create a new account and sign into it on your main PC the client will recognise that there are steam apps installed on the machine and ask you if you would like to share some of them. This means you dont have to re-download what would be copy of Dota to your hard-drive.

I've create multiple accounts for Steam for the purpose of smurfing on them in different games so this is a regular occurrence for people to create second or even third accounts to play fresh especially if there is a ranking system in a game like Dota and CS:GO.
