    Deleting sharing accounts

    Seems like I have gone a little crazy with the sharing games option..and found out that I guess I have reached my limit, but I have no idea who is sharing my games.

    Does anyone know of a way to deactivate guest accounts so I can let someome else share my games?

    -thanks

    If you knew who they were, you could drive to their houses and deactivate them one by one through their system. Other than that, I don't believe it can be done unfortunately.

    5 systems per ID is how it works.

    Changing you password pretty much kills every sharing user's access to what you shared. The instant you change it all those people loose the ability to use your files or download your files.

    I've never been a fan of the sharing thing you're giving people access to your account, your credit and other sensitive information as well as something you paid for. They can exhaust your download limits (some things only let you download them 5 times before you have to buy it again.) If people decide to share your info with someone else you can get spread thin quickly and not know who has access to your information.

    If you Know and trust people not to abuse it, that'd fine but the minute you get outside a tight circle of friends it's hard to really be sure.

    I was under the inpresion that the way it worked was that you delete all that sensitive info like credit card etc, change your password and THEN let them download whatever. Then after they have got it, change the password pack and add the card info again. Then the other person only has a DUMMY account that they keep on there system so they can run the game you shared with them but not actually get into your account without the real password.

    Guys changing the password does not have any affect on the other systems that have downloaded games from the account. I have a couple games I split with people who have since changed their password and I can still play the games. It does not automatically deactivate all the other systems. And wonders, you're correct with everything you said.

    Thank God ,because I shared stuff with some people but when they finished downloading things I changed my password so I can put my billing info back . I got scared there for a minute, that those persons could not play the games they've downloaded from me. But since ,I havent received any angry emails from them I guess everything works ok.
