Got family sharing ban and borrower is unwilling to appeal the ban with dev

[Tamie]

I already contacted dev about this issue but they can't do anything unless the borrower successfully appeals the ban.

Am I screwed forever? what should I do?

Sounds about right.

You let someone use your license. The license got banned. You can't make the other user do anything.

As far as that game is concerned, pretty likely screwed forever. After all the ability to appeal isn't any sort of guarantee. And while it's not impossible that a ban was applied in error, it's pretty plausible for someone to do something that warrants a ban. People cheat, or get super toxic anti-social any time they're not aware of or considering the consequences. And my guess is the other user isn't Mr. Rogers reincarnated.

The fact they're not interested in appealing the ban probably tells you they believe it's not worth contesting. IE it was legitimately earned. And they don't want to risk shattering whatever fiction they've already told you that leads you to believe being unbanned was anywhere close to an option.

Be careful who you share games with, that's what you should do. Bans are against the license or the account that owns the license. The person behind the keyboard is quite secondary, so if they earned it, expect the ban to stay even if you twist their arm off to appeal.

You are reponsible for who you lend your library to

Blame the person you lent your library to, not the gamedev who banned a cheater

Also your gameban was from 300+ days ago. Its sort of apparentl you don't care about it

Thats sincerely ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up if a bro/sister/friend cheated on what is your accoutn (unless this is like a shared account you both spent money on). Id really confront them with it unless they are like 5 years old but then how would they get the cheat.

And yeha, its your responsibility.

Thats something you get warned about. Lending out games via Family Share means you are 100% responsible for other users cheating in YOUR game.
If this was not the case then cheaters would just buy a game on a account and then family share it to X others to cheat on.

There has to be fully shared consequences or the system would not work.

There nothing can be done, once your game license is ban, there no lifting it, my advice learn from this.

The responsibility comes down on you for family sharing, and your account usage. If didn't want to take the responsibility, shouldn't have done family sharing.

There's no way to repeal it since you're responsible for how your license gets used. sounds like you'll need to have a word with the person who borrowed your game

Yeah, I bought the game because of that person at first. I didn't see the ban notice on my profile until I did and also didn't care enough at that time.

Sucks that I can't even upvote pictures and do other stuff, but oh well.

Thanks everyone :)
