This is a non-serious comment. I have 2 kids in college. They are part of my "household" as I fund their existence and claim them on taxes. Requiring separate accounts for each of them is insane. As is an additional payment per child. They don't come home every month (duh, they are in college) so they can't "login in the primary residence."Good.
You can't share your Theater tickets and you can't share traditional cable. Bizarre people think its OK to share a $15 netflix account with their entire family all over the US and complain when their favorite show gets cancelled.
And they are the ones that actually watch the shows, so there goes viewership.
And also, you're wrong. My college kids *can* login to XFinity Stream outside of the house. Not everything works, but the bulk of it does. We don't share the password with the universe, but we certainly do to the people we fund as part of our family.
I also think they are screwing snow birds -- if you go to Arizona or Florida half of the year, you can't checkin once a month unless they make it easy to switch primary when you do.
All in all, their mismanagement of their books and overspending on crappy content has resulted in this land grab. We'll see -- pissing off your loyal customers is not usually a good strategy.
