Lmao why. You turn on Netflix when you want to watch movies or TV shows, the battle is already lost in less than a second if you want people to care about your video games.
Because their whole good catalogue was owned by other people who took it back.
They didn’t manage their originals well at all, but way more of their issue is the loss of content they weren’t even given a chance at.
Everything since is desperation trying to claw back that value that isn’t coming back.
Ridiculously poor management of originals, how did they end up with such huge gaps between seasons, they even release them all at once so they know fairly immediately if they are going to renew and can get the ball rolling. How is there more of like every other streamers main shows than Stranger Things
you don’t think trying to find the thing you want to watch is kinda already a puzzle game if you use the TV embeded client. I was not a sub for a long time and last time at my friend’s place we tried to find something using the TV client it really painful. Maybe making it a arcade game so you have to win to watch a show when they buffer everything at higher quality in background is a win?(oh and throw you some ads if you lose and the buffering is not done yet.)
ps. I basically get the however many month free from a deal and then just cancel it before it ends since I don’t watch/follow tv shows that much, I watched like 4 episodes of stargate and the streaming quality is really not up to par at the time.
Honestly I don’t know why anyone is still subscribed after they showed their true colors regarding “love is sharing a password”
And then proceeded to raise prices
They still have pretty good value compared to competitors. I don’t like it, but when other streaming services are competing to see who can be more hostile to customers, Netflix is on the better end of the spectrum.
That said, if Netflix is one of the better ones, I’m seriously reconsidering having any streaming apps at all and just buy shows and movies directly.
For games, I honestly don’t see the appeal. I just buy the games I want, and it’s absolutely not something I want a subscription for.
Love Amazon showing me ads on a paid streaming service.
Doesn’t radicalize me a bit
It’s going to be a huge fail.
They could’ve just filmed some "choose your own adventure“ stuff and called it a game. Would’ve attracted more people, especially with their wealth, name, and the amount of books they could use.
I hope it dies as it’s crawling like Stadia, streamed-only games is a dystopic idea.
Yes, Bandersnatch is technically* a video game. Didn’t know they made others.
Always amazes me what autocorrect gets past commenters… “Technicolor” is a new level.
The game catalog is pretty decent. I had an issue where I downloaded a couple games from Netflix and then found they didn’t work on my flight because they needed a network connection. Pretty annoying
POINPY is a fantastic Netflix owned mobile game.
Don’t just downvote because ‘Netflix bad, not for gamers’. Go play it, you can just log in with netflix and get a great game.
you can just log in with netflix
Yeah, here’s the thing. I ain’t paying for Netflix, and I don’t like games-as-a-service in the first place. I barely hold a positive view of xbox gamepass, and thats entirely because it’s a cheap way to (legally) play a lot of one-and-done games. This is with Microsoft having access to decades of successful games, and control of major studios and platforms.
Netflix Mobile is great. They remove most of the paywalls and have and great time killers.
