As they say, "now you’re really f*ed"
The change could have a major effect on how families use Netflix. No longer can one person watch a movie from the iPad while the rest of the family watches another film on the Xbox, for example.
As website Stop the Cap points out, Netflix has always had a policy that limited streaming, with those on a single DVD or streaming-only plan limited to streaming one film at a time.
That plan is now $7.99 per device you wish to use at any given time.
For families and other "multiple people" households who had thought they were getting a great deal because for $8/month everyone could watch whatever they want, where they want, when they want, this is no longer true.
Now it’s $8/month/per person to have that access.
It does appear that this "hard limit" is, at present, limited to movies.
For now.
Best-a-luck Netflix longs. 30% of your money from the top is already gone, and I suspect the pain is just beginning for those who continue to believe and stick around for the double feature.
