Is it possible to turn off shared games from your friend?
I have a game (Awesomenauts) that I can play because it's shared from my friend. This game became free for the weekend as well, but I was kicked off when my friend logged on even though it's free. I cannot start it again and it's definitely a bug, but I was thinking perhaps I can opt out of my friends library somehow, preferably temporarily?
Best Answer
Since you are family sharing, click on the steam icon in your tray, then click settings, then click the Family tab and you can then continue to opt out of this. If this is unavailable to you, you can tell your friend to remove your PC from the authorized PCs list on the same settings page.
As for being kicked out, you are kicked off of any multiplayer/online games if there is more than one person using it at a time when doing Family Sharing

How do I stop sharing games on Steam with friends?
You can log into the Steam client and visit the "Family" tab in Settings, where you'll find a link "Manage other computers". Here you can deauthorize any computer or account that's been authorized to share your library.How do I turn off family sharing games?
Open the Steam client by double-clicking the shortcut or searching it through the Windows search feature. Click on the Library, then right-click on the game you want to remove and choose the Manage > Remove from account option.How do I get rid of a borrowed game on Steam?
You'll keep all of your stats, achievements, inventory items etc if you buy the game for yourself, since they're independent to your Steam ID, as well as being stored onto your PC (or Steam Cloud), rather than the person who owned the game originally.DO NOT GAME SHARE!
