You’d have to pay for the game again regardless of where you got banned, and can Sony not opt out of allowing family sharing?
What? Sony can only ban a steam id, how’s Sony supposed to know you’re family sharing to another account? And you don’t need to buy a new game to family share, that’s the entire issue.
You can bypass banning without linked accounts due to steams policies, maybe if steam would issue a vac ban for a sony ban, but people would be even more up in arms about that.
Back when the new family sharing rules came out, I remember reading something about how developers could opt out of family sharing. That’s what I was referencing.
Developers can opt out of family sharing. A family sharing account that gets banned, the owning account also gets banned.
