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.
It sounds like a version of nintendo ds game share, though I never heard of it until now. I only own a wii

If we’re talking about the same thing, DS game sharing (download play I think?) did not share whole games and was not used for many games. Something almost identical already existed on GBA (though using a cable instead of wifi).
The idea was to upload a stripped version of the game to other DSs and let them join a limited multiplayer. Like, you could play Mario Kart, but players without the cartridge had only one character or you could only select certain tracks (on GBA at least). Sometimes game sharing was used for multiplayer minigames, while the main game was only playable with the cartridge.
This sounds more like the new thing they’ve advertized with Switch 2 being able to share select multiplayer games with other Switches, not the virtual game cards stuff. Though I don’t know whether those will be limited like GBA and DS did.
