apps launch fine, just games. doesn’t matter if i own them (free/paid) or gameshared by my friend, always shows game card

The game card coming up is a new update. It should still have the "Play" button. It's an extra step, but I think it's an amazing one. I like being able to see my stats before launching into the game.

However, game sharing isn't allowed if you don't live together.

This isn’t correct. Settings > General > Personalization > Games & apps

I just looked there. I don't see anything about the game card that pops up when you press A. Which normally would have just launched the game and not opened the game card.

Nevermind. I see it now. Ignore me.
