    What happens if my brother gets banned for cheating while playing my game?

    If a family member gets banned for cheating while playing your copy of a game, you (the game owner) will also be banned in that game. Other family members are not impacted.

    That kinda sucks.

          Or alternatively send the rest of the family detailed explanations of how the idiot in question cheated and what they did. 😈

          A thousand times this. I’d even be for a button to add whitelist for games they wanna play. I am super sensitive about Mr acc, and the last thing is having a ban on record. Especially when I had to spend 10 years with a trade probation because my dumb ass duped some items on TF2.

        Is it though? If they are not banning the whole family, what prevents me from adding a new little brother?

        Except that lie is often used when sharing an account.

        Under this system, there is no ambiguity in terms of if it was you or your brother.

      I kinda hope they grant the ability to block some games from being shared. I trust my kids not to use cheats, but I can understand being a bit paranoid from being banned from a game you really enjoy and not wanting to take a chance.
