I mean, it's not like "gamers" (as in a significant percentage of us) were actually doing something. As everywhere else, most people are relatively uncritically consuming stuff, and only bad game design can have consequences like a large portion of a fanbase not buying a franchises entry. Not like DRM was a political issue in gaming communities. And Cloud Gaming is even hailed as a way for people who can't afford high power gaming machines to play the newest titles (a claim that has some merit but we need other solutions but that is another debate).

DRMs are mostly broken by crackers tho and there are many people that hate DRMs and cloud services, though it's not the majority sadly
