Options for friend to play steam games without risk to my account?

[cubabeech]

I have a friend that is older 60+ and wanted to set him up with a PC and wheel to play some driving games just to see if he would like it or not. So I have a few questions on options that I thought of but looking for suggestions.

1) Install steam on the PC I will give them and create a whole new account. This is what I was thinking but I don't want to link my credit card to that account and he is old school so probably wont want to use his. If he likes it I could then just buy the games and gift them to him through my account right?
Do you need a credit card to open a new account? What if I used mine to open the account and then changed the card info to something else? Would that work?

2) Install steam on the PC I will give them and use the play together thing? But I would have to be playing the game and invite him so that seems messy. Thought about setting his up to log into my account but I'm not comfortable with that.

Again if he likes gaming, which I think he will, he will probably bite the bullet and open his own account and then were golden.

Thank you for any insight you may have.
Cheers

You don't need a credit card to create an account.

The new account (without purchase history) can't send friend requests, but you can send one to him that he accepts.

If you both login to the same PC, you can try creating a "steam family" and sending him an invite to share your games.

** Dont risk your credit card info on someone else's account. **

What do you think if they cheated at your FS or play at your account you will get busted, and steam account is a privat account so not even your own kid sit at knee and is 2 years old and dont know what its doing is not allowed to play at your account.

And im just a user should you not know this by yourself.

In out word kick your friends butt, because steam can actual shutdown your account.

And be happy i and other bother dare tell it front up. ( but have steam done this to a steam user i dont know. ) its a personal steam account, so how will you bend that rule.

Maybe steam user should put there Friends at place where it belog. ( not because i said so, but because steam rules already told you this )

ps.
He need to make own account that has Nothing to do with you, as above user already point out.

"You don't need a credit card to create an account."
Great, If a credit card is not required then I can set up his own account on the PC I am building him, send him a friend request and accept, then purchase a game as a gift on my account to send him.
Sound right?
Thanks for the help :)
