I agree with the sentiment but when u have 4 kids and they all want the game thatās $60 NZ it is far more efficient for me to buy it once and manage their times appropriately and i donāt have to hear about it for weeks
Family share IS legit, unfortunately Amazon never had it set up to work the ālegitā way. Family share DOES NOT let ANYONE play someone elses library when that person is online themselves, never mind the same bloody game.
The way this game used family share was never sustainable, it was literally against steams own TOSā¦ A clear indicator it just wasnt set up properly to start with.
The workaround will be letting main accounts transfer characters from family share accounts, thats it, they definitely wont allow people to accidentally keep playing the game completely free.
agreed as I said I agree with the idea just not the execution for some the family share is a viable option to keep all your kids happy (they have to have their own accounts of course saves arguments) just want a resolution so I can get some peace and quiet XD
If you can tell me any other MMO where you can have people playing for free from one persons account then fair enough, otherwise what they have done is already the correct resolution, they fixed an issue that should never have been in the first place, so some people got many hours worth of free gameplay, but are still complainingā¦ Do you only buy one cinema ticket for all your kids to share? whats the difference here then?
say that when u got to dish out $240 because all your kids want the same game i donāt know about you but as a solo dad thatās just not happening so if I let my kids play on āfreeā content as you put it then so be it
Ah, so the world owes you because you had kids 
OK
How about you let them all play from the same account,1 at a time, the way family share is intended to be used, they can all have a char on different worlds.
All mmo you can share game account. You canāt use 2 account with a unique license. And this need to do AGS. None here want use one license for 2 account. The legit player want use the license for one account.
It is easy: Account steam <> account license New World. and all problems are resolved.

āall mmo you can share accountā
That is always against the TOS of the MMO itself.
im not saying anyone owes me anything just that some peoples circumstances require the use of that function for legit reasons such as children
Before you write, read TOS:
āYou may not share your account or password with anyone, except if you are a parent or guardian, in which case you may permit one minor child to use your account. You may not use your account at the same time, and you are liable for activies conducted by the minor child.ā
Thanks for proving my exact point.
This isnt a typical mmo where 1 has a monthly subscription to have an active account. Family share thru Steam works exactly as it is intended. You pay for the game 1 time and members of your family, linked to your account, can also access and play the games you as thr primary own.

The difference here is similar to steaming a new release on HBO Max. Steam offers a service and New World opted ibto this service. The catch all is people abused the family share option, which is limited to X accounts total by making many dummy accounts and linking/unlinking as they needed to.
It should be a simple and easy process to see who uses family share legitimately and who uses it to power thru 96 accounts in 30 days.

Sorry but you are just wrong, even steam says in their TOS for Family Share that a person sharing your account can not play anything from your library when you yourself are online, this was broken with new world which allowed people to do something they should NOT have been able to, that has been fixed nowā¦And please, show me ANY MMO that allows people to share accounts and/or have multiple people playing from 1 account.
You are super dense. I am not saying that Family share should allow a whole family or a sea of bots to play the game at the same time. Inam saying family share is the provided option for 1 person to purchase a game and share it with their family.
Please stop referencing other mmoās and account sharing. Family share never allowed younto share accounts. Each user played independently of each other on their own account.
Without setting up multiple machines or virtual machines, you can not even run 2 instances of the steam client, and thus, New World at the same time.
Please continue to tell me more about a system that you obviously know nothing about. It is very apparent now, you are just another flake who rants on the internet from a forum post they read, rather than understanding the logic and what people are even asking for.

LOL, clearly your getting you knickers in a twist and putting words in my mouth, nice try.
Please enlighten me on which words i clearly āput into your mouthā.
You continue your tirade about how family share is something it is not and how āotherā mmoās dont allow this and that though.
