I want to get my friends to play cs go with me but they are too lazy to download it, since it went free is it possible to copy it?

Copying not possible as i know but downloading process can be lessened. i used this before to lessen time. First,you should copy all cs go file and copy it in a flash. Then open flash disk in other pcs. Open steam and start dowloading process and stop right after ,copy cs go files i dont remember file name but i guess there is a file in steamapps and while dowloading , game is being kept in this file and after completition dowloaded cs go files are transported in common/csgo. To sum up , copy cs go files into this file that i said file after stoping download and press continue.if you can say file names in steam apps , i can say which one is.

If they're too lazy to download the game, they will be CRAP team mates, dude.

Yes,using Steam backup and restore feature

In the top left corner => Steam ---> Backup and restore games

Lots of bad information posted here so far.

The short answer is yes you can copy it. Copy the data where it needs to go in their Steam folder, install the game to that location. Steam will recognize the files, verify the data before seeing it as installed and download anything missing and viola.

You can use the Steam Backup and Restore that You suggested, but it isn't really necessary although some users like it better because it feels more official. But really it's just a legacy feature from the days where maybe you'd want to burn backed up games to a CD or DVD. Either way can work though, Steam is pretty permissive about this as long as the data is where you tell it is, it will give it a go.

I've given TF2 data on a thumb drive to friends out in the boonies for TF2 LAN's. Worked fine. And usually when I need to copy data over to the wife's PC (so we don't have to download it twice) I just copy the data over, no backups required.

Do a copy paste of the whole game folder and don’t forget the proper .acf file, making certain they get put back in their proper locations. All while Steam Is NOT running.
