Nintendo Switch owners with the console’s latest system update have noted that it is no longer possible to play the same digital game online across two systems simultaneously.

Previously, a Switch designated as a primary console could load up a digital game and play online alongside the owner of that game logged in via a second Switch.

TLDR: You could share bread as long as they are in the same store, now you have to either lend your bread priviledges to a friend or make them buy it for themselves.

actually forget this tldr, no one will understand it, not even myself, I don’t own a switch.

  • Sharing and trading games is just about the only thing I absolutely miss about physical media. I’m not playing X quite as much anymore and I want to check out Y. My friend has Y and has never played X. We swap carts. Life is good.

    Can’t fucking do that shit anymore… 😮‍💨

      You can with cartridges. That’s why me and my friends get them. We swap.

      What people are complaining about are apparently a feature digital games had, which I never knew about since I use physical media. I get why they’re salty about it, but it does sound like a weird loophole they never fixed and apparently even mentioned it in some web page of theirs it was possible, so like an officially sanctioned loophole?
