It kinda sucks how hard it is now to share a game with a friend. That was one of the main draws of console gaming for me; how you'd have ownership of the game to do with as you wished. PC gaming switched to predominately digital downloads years back, which is fine when you consider how affordable those games eventually become during Steam sales. But first party Nintendo games seem to hold their value and the sales are never that great, so you're left with more expensive games and no longer the option to share them.
