This is actually great. Of course it really only mirrors the situation that you would be in if we all still had software on physical disks: if the family owns two copies of a game, then two people can play at any one time, regardless of what anyone else is doing. Still happy though.

Very happy here too. The previous iteration (Family Sharing) locked you out of the entire library while someone was playing, now it's on a game granularity. The multiple copies part is also great. It was a hassle to set up an account and buy games for minor just to play certain coop games together. (Remote play together already works well for couch-coop games though)

It also gave away if you’re playing and invisible, as someone who has access to your library wouldn’t be able to play :))
