[SOLVED] Q: Sharing a game, is a nephew considered family? And can I still play a different game while my nephew is playing?
Hello,
My 10 yo nephew doesn't know enough English yet to understand game with alot of text, so I'd like to share a game at a time. Sometimes a game is easy to learn, no matter the language and sometimes it doesn't. I can't tell, only he can find out.

I'd like to give him the opportunity to test a game first from my library. But does that have restrictions to any of us two, while he is playing the shared game?

I searched online and only found info back from 2016, saying the shared game cannot be played by family if the true owner is playing a game (any game).

It doesn't really make sense. I can share with many people at the same time, but when I come online (I play alot) no one has access.

I'd rather share it with one family member instead of many, while I can play my games and my nephew can try the shared game.
