This is pretty fantastic. I have two kids that I share with, and when one plays any game from my library currently, my entire library gets locked out from the other kid. Changing this to a game by game basis makes so much more sense.

Omg I was just complaining about this in another thread. I wish it hadn't taken them so long, but I'm stoked it's happening!
