I wouldn't say people rolled over. A lot of people had the money and the means to pay. And only didn't because password sharing was easy. When Netflix crackdown on it they got their own subscription.

I did rolled over to reach my phone to unsubscribe. Next thing i know, i'm socializing. Best weeks in years.
I get upset about a lot of things, but the end of password sharing isn't one of them. Complaining about it is just about the most privileged, entitled thing I can imagine.

This is the generation of adults who, when younger, were likely candidates to have been in the pic of Steam where everyone was "boycotting" mw2 but also like 80% of them were playing it anyway. They just grew up and got their own netflix accounts lol
The gaming industry has seen this sentiment of "I'm going to get you with my wallet, billion dollar corporation!" for decades now and it falls flat every. single. time. No commentary on whether that's good or bad, just an observation I'm sure most of us have made who have been around long enough.
