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.
