    How do I family share DLCs?

    I tried to family share the DLCs with my brother, but they are still unlocked on his account. Is this a bug or something? How can I fix that?
    Forgot to mention that I'm on PC, so the family share I tried was with steam.

      Why not? It works on other games just fine, but for DbD somehow not

      I think because its online but i tried that as well and ended up losing 30 levels worth of points when the primary ps4 was switched so i just bought the DLC. Not sure why it cant work though

      If you are playing on console then it could only be done on the console that has the main account.

      assuming you're using consoles, you have to make your brother's console your "home" console and he has to do the same for yours. You will then be able to share games, DLC's, memberships, etc.

      If you own a game but your brother does not own it, he can download and play the game + dlc

      However if he owns the base game, then he can not share the dlc.

      Dlc sharing only works if the person wanting to play it doesn't already own the base game.

      Really? What kind of logic is that lol 
      I remember something similar with the Nurse DLC back then, but I don't know anymore how the fix was

      Only works on Console. You buy DLC on one profile, it's available for all profiles on that PlayStation.

      I think it's Steam's logic, but don't quote me.
