Family Sharing enables you to play games from other family members' libraries, even if they are online playing another game.

This is huge! Previously it was annoying to share games become if someone was playing my game and I opened something up they would be kicked out.

If a family member gets banned for cheating while playing your copy of a game, you will also be banned in that game.

This sucks.

I think it's fair. You should know if your family cheats if you share your games with them

Nah its impossible to always know if they will cheat. It could be their first time.

That's why you have that conversation with your family.
