I'm sorry if we're not supposed to talk about this here but I honestly don't know if Sony allow this after their 2013 E3 conference where they were all up for 'Sharing'. Please close if not appropriate.
My brother just traded his X360 and PS3 for a PS4 and I made his PSN account the main owner or whatever you call it. I then added a second user and used my details and started to download all my games (free PS Plus games and AC BF). They played fine on my name. I switched user back to his and all the games have padlocks on them. When trying to play them, it says only the account who purchased them can play them.
Is there a way around this? If I deactivate my PSN account on my PS4 and activate it on as the main account holder, I assume I won't be able to play them on my PS4 then?
If there isn't a way around this apart from him logging into my name on his PS4, will that cause problems with save files in the cloud? Also if I log in on my PS4, will it kick him off my name on his PS4?
Thanks
