Nice feature.

Probably of no use to me, but I can see the appeal.

This is great for single player games..

We should start some sort of sharing circle.

No, it's crap. You can't play a game when the owner wants to play one of their games...even if it's a different one. It's a step to reduce account sharing (two people using the same account separately). I imagine the logic behind it is if you share an account you're less invested in adding friends and trading items etc etc. So why not have two accounts and just share the games between them, and have your own friends lists?

It doesn't really do much good for regular people wanting to share or trade games.
