No you are not a brat ,while i admire your Compassion toward your friend, in the end i don't think it will end well.Disaster Button said:
You must first try to see the Consequences your actions may Have.
By giving in to your friend, he may see all things that they are his (or something similar). whack him over the head and make him understand that since it is YOURS, it is not his place to challenge your decision or, even worse, do it behind your back.
In any case, if your friend is still an Ass about it...well, don't consider him your friend anymore, more like am Acquaintance or something.

You're not being a brat... he is the one that's unfair.Stealing is still stealing,so if he had no permission to do it then f**k him 
Naw your friend is being the brat.. and if he is just taking stuff from you without asking.. Then he is eccentially stealing and you paid for the game. So its totally up to you weather or not you give it to him.. I think he ought to be more grateful and give you something every now and then.. Thats only fair right?
1. Sharing games IS stealing. I might not agree with current policies on copyright, but you can get arrested, put in jail and pay handsome fees if you are ever caught.
So if your friends demands that you run the risk, he's the idiot. This is not like stealing candy. Copyright infringement can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars/pounds/euro.
2. He violated your trust by accessing your private account and information. No means no, even among friends. Believe me, HE is the stupid brat here, not you.

Ok, i read first page so i dont really know how things have gone since that point in the conversation but heres my two cents for the original question.Disaster Button said:
He is wrong for trying to take the game, especially after you told him no. Very immature on his behalf and you probably will need to watch him because clearly he is a selfish person and take my advice if you have him over make sure you got all your cash tucked away somewhere hidden and safe. I've had friends i thought were good people steal from me and its lead to some rather bitter grudges, but i dont tolerate theft and i'll call someone out about it no matter who's around. If you asked for some cash i'd gladly lend it out... losing my train of though...
Anyways, there are two ways to handle this. Either tell him to go f' himself its your game and i dont need your friendship... and sadly if you guys are getting in arguements sometimes it goes that way...
Or two, tell him "hey buddy, i'll let you borrow the game just not right now. I'm still using it, when i get done with it you'll be the first to know alright?"
If he cant accept those very very very fair terms, especially since he is the beggar here ( beggars cant be choosers ) then i'd go with option number 1 i mentioned earlier.
I'd say your a tad daft for giving anyone your steam password,but we're talking stupid spoiled brat here. No you're friend is, if you wish to call him a friend. No friend should ever go behind your back 1: Potentiolly get your steam account banned (Which I can see as more than likely), and 2: steal from you. Okay, he gave you Psychonauts, it was a pound. And he uses that to justify the fact he stole something worth £25 off of you? Sorry but I don't think this person is your friend, but just befriending you to get at something you have/can get.
Since I'm feeling analoguous... that's not a word.
Your friend pirating a game the normal way, is like him robbing an elderly woman by pointing at her with a pistol.
Borrowing your steam account, then using it to download a game that you have bought, is like him robbing an elderly woman, threatening her with an old shoe that he stole from your apartment.
ie. not very effective/smart/anything.
To get to the topic. No, you're not whiny, your friend is. Using your steam account without your permission is what is called a dick move. Tell him to buy/pirate games like normal people do, will save both of you the hassle. If he wants to steal games, there's no reason for him to inconvenience you with it.

no, he's being a prick.
i don't particularly like loaning out my games, but i do so quite often. if someone asks, i'll let them. if someone grabs it, starts heading to my door and says, i'm gonna take this for a couple weeks, my foot would be firmly planted in their lower intestines.

Tell him to get a job and pay for his own games, they ain't cheap these days so why should he take them from you?
