          Not sure where you’re going with this - I was implying that there are consequences for cheating, like losing access to a game library even if temporary.

              I can’t even imagine if I were a kid and made my parent lose access to a lot of games.

              Well it’d be just the one game that they cheated in. That’s where you can sit the kid down and tell him that cheating has consequences. Ideally this talk would’ve happened before you share access though - I’m thinking of it as making sure the kid knows how to drive before you let them borrow the keys to your car.

                  Parents just have to make sure the kid understands to not cheat before sharing the account. It might sound new to us because we never grew up with this scenario, but it seems reasonable to me.

                  Again, it’s just making sure the kid is a safe driver before letting them borrow keys to the family van.

                  If the ban worries you, you can just not share the games - this is strictly an upside and there’s no penalty for maintaining the status quo and not using this feature.
