For over a year it's been fairly trivial to play unauthorized copies of games online with normal players. Should be no surprise they are pulling the plug after their copy protection is broken.
Should get about 6 more years out of the Nintendo Switch's online service before they pull the plug too if this is any indication.
Unauthorized copies always worked online on these platforms. It was Nintendo's original design.
