Netflix Games

[ハイイロギツネ]

Netflix is buying video game developers after losing subscribers, and by the end of 2022, it will offer around 50 titles

What are your thoughts? Can they compete in the video game world?

[Affronter]

Didn't they already try gaming with Black Mirror: Bandersnatch (2018)?

Hope they get rekted

Well, that would be the end of the devs too.

Erm no it won't - that's marketing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Theyre just trying to appease shareholders. That's how marketing works and you need to spot this.

They may well be buying and to be fair not a bad idea - they're in a narrowing market and that's a perfect reason to diversify in business.

But to claim things like this baseless stuff is just silly so you shouldn't believe it.

If they've bought NOW, then they likely have bought devs who have current games in development. Now some of those MAY come out this year if they're that close. But most of them will take longer and the fact they've been taken over WILL put a step back in things as changes get sorted out.

SO no, maybe one or two might get released but I'd be surprised if more than this happened.

It depends the only actual game on Netflix was Minecraft story mode but that’s it

A small price to pay for salvation.

How did that Stranger Things mobile game go for them back in 2017?

Lolm, fair point.

Although I don't know if it's the same one that turned up on various other platforms - that was alright. Nothing groundbreaking by any stretch but better than I would have thought.

No, I don't care about paying a monthly subscription to play mobile games. I already hate how you need a VPN to actually enjoy everything Netflix has to offer but now you're telling me I gotta pay extra just because of these dumpy flash games?.

There's one thing that I found truly absoluteyl ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about Netflix from my brief expeirence and frankly it should be addressed RIGHT NOW.

The lack of any real proper viewing of all films on the platform.

You can't search everything straight up. The best you can do is look up reddit threads and find the links for certain genres and go round things that way.

It's frankly absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Who would pay for a service where they have films there that they do their best not to let you access easily?

Every single streaming service has different films based on country.
Amazon does this as well.
It's always been this way.
IT's all about licences.
That's it.
It's literally that simple.

I rather liked it - it's a pretty good retro game and it most definitely is fun.

I can't see why anyone would say that. I get there are flaws in it, but fun it most certainly is.
