What's pro-consunwr about this? Before I could play Splatoon 3 with my son with one DL game, but it seems like they're not letting me do that anymore.

I don't think they're taking the old method away, but rather adding an extra option for multi-device game sharing. At least I hope they aren't.

But I don't see how it's an added feature (I'm probably not smart enough to understand) because it looks like sharing is only for families, which is something we can already do. It seems more restrictive than anything. But hopefully we'll be able to keep the old method as well because I can't afford to buy multiple copies of the same game to play with my kids haha
