I have been using it throughout the beta and it is a throw away feature in its current form. It's easier and less intrusive to just share your games through offline mode and be done with it. At least you can actually share then. Having to stop playing a game while the owner plays a different game is just dumb and makes the service pointless. |
Playing on the same account is a good way to mess up your account statistics and saves, offline or not. Family Sharing gives each player seperate settings, achievements, and saves, and I think that's a pretty huge benefit. Account statistics and such getting messed up is exactly the reason I didn't let my brother play on my account when I was younger.
EDIT: And for the record, this is supposed to be similar to letting a relative/friend play on your PC/console. Of course you won't be able to do it when your friend/relative is doing it. There's a reason they call it Family Sharing, not Game Sharing or Library Sharing.
