    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.

    I love that they worded it as the age old ban appeal reason. Always someone’s brother on their account breaking the rules.

    Rough going, but it’s better than having cheaters just make a rotation of child accounts they can hide behind.

      Don’t share online games with family members, if you don’t trust them to not cheat.

    Been using the beta for a while and I gotta say, it’s pretty awesome. I just hope they have the purchasing as sorted as they claim. I’ve had so many issues in the past letting my kids purchase games.
