Ok, so I have this account-through which I've paid probably about $30-40 since I joined- and my steam account that I made to try and get that hat. The ME has been separate the whole time, so I've been trying to lvl my steam account as a challenge since this one is pretty much endgame.

However, I let my brother create an account- not another character, a separate account- on this computer. It's just a regular one through the website. After he played for a while, I got on and logged into my steam account. I found that my ME had been drained. Upon further testing I confirmed the ME is being shared between my brothers account and my steam account.

I thought making purchases was supposed to make the ME separate on ALL accounts on the same computer. Was I mistaken? Was there a recent change to where that isn't the case?

Purchasing makes that

Purchasing makes that specific account separate. Multiple free accounts on that computer always share ME regardless of the presence of a paid account.

thanks

Ah ok. The simplistic way in which people described it in all the forum posts I've seen suggested otherwise, which is why I was confused. Thanks though.
