    I wonder if this closes the loophole of having two copies of the same digital game (buyer’s primary system, buyer’s account on a second system) running simultaneously. My spouse and I have been playing MK8 like that for years.

      Yeah, everyone giving it kudos doesn’t realize its actually even more restrictive than the previous setup.

      Before you could:

      • Have two consoles playing the same game (as long as both had wifi access).
      • Have two consoles share a library when not in physical proximity.
      • No time limit on sharing.

      Admittedly you could only share games one way with that, so it really only worked for two people. So families with more than two switched are about the only ones this would benefit (maybe a group of friends in close proximity).

      I have heard that this is in addition to the old system, not a replacement.
