My steam secondary has all the games from my primary account?

[key and peele official]

So I was making a secondary steam account and I finally got everything set up, so when I switched over I found that all my steam games from my primary are in my secondary. Is this because I have the same steam install? Will all the games transfer to my primary? What's going on?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just found it weird how I just made a new account and all my games are in my secondary steam account's library even though I just made it.

Yes, Steam will show all the games installed on the computer in the Library, even if they are not owned by your current account. If you try to run one of the games while not logged into an account that owns it, it will warn you and ask you if you want to have the other account share the game with you.

Okay, so nothing will mess up if I play one of the games?

It won't let you play it, if you aren't on the right account. It was pop up saying that the game is owned by the other account and you can ask them to share i with you. Or something along those lines (a bit of paraphrasing).

By any possibility, if you where going to hack on the secondary account. Will you get banned on your primary account too?

No no, that's perfectly safe!
