if he dose not own it, then you will have to buy it again so 2 of you can play

what u thinking about that = We are in same room , we have 2 computers, and we have lan port , so , should we buy 1 game to send another pc? or , should we buy game 2 times ? Dude, this is not cheap game ... there should be another way to play together

You need 2 Steam accounts. Then you need to buy that game for each account.

We should give 22£ for each game ? i already buy it man, i am playing it , but my bro says me =' i want to play with u, i dont give 22£ again for this game, ' , we dont give 22£ for this game again.. but there should be a solution ...

We have different accounts, i send DayZ files to another pc with ' Restore ' way , it works but when my brother clicks dayz , it says purchase it , We bought already on my account, and there is another way , click to dayz on my brothers account , it says if u purchase it , give cd key and play it . but there is no cd key ..

Yes that is the only way. You can share your Steam account or games on your account but you cant play games from one Steam account at the same time.

That's a violation of the SSA.

Game sharing is possible via SFS, but DayZ is excluded.

This game is excluded from Steam's Family Sharing service.

Sorry man thats not how Steam works. He will have to buy that game on his Steam account to be able to play it.

Its his brother who want to play it with him so what i meant was he can share his Steam account = games with him on another computer but they cant play one game online at the same time from that Steam account.

The game doesn't support Steam Family Sharing in this context.
