Can I log into my PS4 account on his system and then just download the game? Can we then play AGAINST each other using the same copy of the game running on 2 separate systems? Sorry for all the questions...just doesn't seem like something Sony would allow you to do... Thanks!

Fellow old guy here myself so I'm happy to help.

You'll have to log in with your account on the other PS4 and download the game to that PS4. That's the simple part. What you'll then need to do is setup whichever PS4 he'd be playing on as your primary PS4. You'll be able to play the game on either system and he'll be able to play on the one you setup as your primary.

You can absolutely play against each other between the two systems. I do it with my son all the time. We play in an online CFM together and even choose the same division so we can get multiple in-house matchups a year.

Been a lot of back and forth whether its legal or not but it works nonetheless. http://www.ign.com/wikis/playstation...ly_and_Friends

I'm pretty sure it's legal and an intentional feature included by Sony. I only found out about it because I was looking for something related on their forums and found a response describing exactly how to do it. I believe it was an official response from Sony but either way, it was on their site and they didn't seem to be bothered by it being posted there.

Thanks to the responders!

I will likely look into it a bit more with Sony before I try it out. Appreciate the feedback! Thanks a bunch...

Yea I know some people who do it and they have not had any issues so it should be fine.

Your situation of having two systems in the same house with different family member owners is literally the reason game sharing was created for digital content.

People using game sharing for friends outside of the household is the "questionable" part.
