Ideally you'd boot into a separate OS without internet connection, or if it's checking for that, log into a secondary steam account not linked to your original one in any way.
So sandbox completely? That's doable. I imagine to have a Steam account completely separate from your primary account, you'd need to never share libraries and avoid matching IPs. Do you think Steam looks at hardware MAC addresses?
At that point why don't you just play a pirated version on the game lol it seems like less of a hassle
I agree with you there. I usually just want to try out the game before I buy the real deal. I don't do too much online stuff these days, but occasionally I want to jump into a game with a friend and thus need my Steam account.
