Not being able to play my game because of family sharing
This is bad design. Please revert to previous functionality.

This is a lame limitation. Imagine having to call my cousin living in a city 200 miles from mine at 5.00 am, because he went to sleep with the pc and game on.

It's the most stupid thing ever thought. The License primary buyer should always have precedence over the execution of the game, unless he chooses not to. Otherwise what's the point of having a primary.

This alone invalidates any ownership over family sharing, easily dropping to a sideshow feature that few will use other than to control their kids.

I can imagine if they do so for the second time, after being asked not to once, i’ll stop sharing the game by making it private on my account. Or kick them from the family if i’m not there only to leech from them. It’s fine design for a family of people who are in normal relations.

Normal relations. You must be a special kind in this world, imagine that.
Alas, as I said, if you design a system based on the best scenario, then your system falls in the realm of niche.

That is to say, it's only as good as the special kinds, such as yourself, as it seems.

Sharing with one’s IRL family and not strangers from Internet is def not as ‘strange’ as it may ‘seem’ to you.

If that's what's happening with you, my sympathies. You really are a special.. kind.
