You can launch multiple games if you want. I just set them windowed mode or borderless mode.

Yep you can run multiple games on one computer, however you can't run two different game on two different computers you own. You used to, for the first 5 years of Steam.

Not only can I not run two games at once, I cannot run another game while the first game I tried to launch is installing an update!
EDIT: Okay, it looks like the only problem here is being able to run a game while another game is 'in the middle of launching' which apparently can include lengthy downloads within the game launcher.

you can go in the settings then downloads then click allow downloads when in game so that would fix one of your problems dont know why you cant just click on 2 games
