Unauthorized Change to EA Multiplayer Shared Membership on Xbox

I have recently found that on the Xbox console, EA’s multiplayer-required titles can no longer recognize that the account logged into the console is eligible for shared membership benefits. Previously, as long as one playing account was online on the console, multiplayer could function normally even if the account providing the membership service was signed out in the background. However, it now requires both accounts to be logged in on the same console simultaneously to access multiplayer features.This change was made without any prior notice or announcement, which significantly impacts players’ existing shared membership rights and contradicts Microsoft’s Home Xbox sharing policy.
