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.

    But, again, this is physically impossible with an actual cartridge. The fact it worked with digital copies was just a loophole that they have now closed, surely?

      Hard to call it a “loophole” when it was listed on Nintendo’s own website less than two weeks ago.

      You can check it by making these choices:

      Click “How to share games with other users”, then “Digital games”, then “Multiple users”, and finally “How to play the same digital game at the same time”.

      I only own a single Switch so I never used this, but considering they listed this officially before I’d say the compaints about downgrade are 100% reasonable.
