Temporary account sharing to test computer settings

I know that account sharing is probably against the rules however I have a friend who wants to buy the game but does not know if his computer will support it. He wants to download the game and use my login info in order to test it on his machine. Is this allowed or will this get me banned?

If you feel this is something you need to do, I suggest you download the game onto his computer and you log into the account. I would not give someone else my account credentials — even my sainted Aunt Tillie!

If he is not local, I would strongly recommend against this. Have him review the game specs carefully and make a decision based on the same information that everyone else used in determining whether their personal computer would adequately handle the game.
