I know this looks pro-consumer, but coming from Nintendo I just knew it was anti-consumer.
With this, I expect that the DRM will be more restrictive, meaning you can no longer install the game onto multiple consoles anymore. Currently, the game can be launched and it performs an online check to make sure you can actually run the game, but you can bypass that by just turning off internet connectivity on your “primary” Switch.
This is a direct removal of that. This is also a good example of why buying physical is still better than buying digital, as not only are the prices often lower especially with time and store sales, but also you ar enot limited to only two weeks of lending.

Yeah this is pretty bad for families who want to load a game to each child’s switch without having to buy multiple copies for each child
