Netflix might add in-app purchases and ads to its games no one plays
According to a recent report, Netflix is currently figuring out how to make more money from its games, as it might intr…
Oh wow, I had no interest at all in trying these previously. Reducing the quality of the games by adding ads and in app purchases is exactly the thing that will push me to give it a try.
I've never even heard of netflix having games on their platform.
GTA 3, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, Into The Breach, Dead Cells, Kentucky Route Zero, Oxenfree, Bloons TD 6, World of Goo, ...
It's a pretty decent selection
Of course.
I mean the CEO probably noticed they can only but two yachts this year after firing 20% of the workforce, so they need to increase their bonuses somehow.
After the latest Dave Chappelle, I made Netflix walk the plank.
That's a shame, just before they were gonna release the Dave Chapelle's Transphobia Simulator

These comments make it seem like people are taking a stand but the specials are just shit, they're mostly boring grandstanding dressed up as deep provocative thought philosophy.
Someone else in my household pays for it so I have it for now... but I haven't touched it in months.
I already canceled Netflix when they stopped allowing me to use my account in multiple locations.
Not at all surprised their games got microtransactioms.
wasn't lack of microtransactions and ads the whole point of these?
Lol at that title. I just saw some post talking about how "Netflix games was my most used service". Like, that can't be true, either that or you don't really play games lol.
It was a sponsored post on Android authority. That website really went down hill from a decade ago
I do play Into the Breach a lot though, both on steam and Android (Netflix), so maybe I'm one of them.
Yes, just what I wanted.
I don't even want interactive titles, why did Netflix clutter the interface with games? I just want to how some noise in the background, so I don't have to listen to my thoughts.
The only benefit to Netflix games is that these games have no ads or IAP.
I mean some are exclusive if you wanted them on the phone.
Why do these services add stuff nobody asks for?
There's a lot of reward for experimenting with what you think your customers want if you're correct. Mobile games probably aren't the right avenue for them to go down, but things like Cyberpunk, The Witcher, and Arcane have proven extremely lucrative for not just Netflix but in generating interest in the properties they're attached to, so it would stand to reason that having a gaming arm would mean they could attain that success and not have to share it with a business partner. Again, I don't think mobile games will accomplish this, but I get the line of reasoning.
Steve Jobs is a great example. Before the 90s, most lay-people didn't know what computers could even do, let alone what design would lead to the most effective user experience. Jobs was able to have a vision for what the platform needed to be before any of his target demographic was capable of asking for it.
But Jobs is in the 1% here, the other 99% are people trying to make it seem like they do work. As long as they can put it on their yearly review and get a raise, they don't care if it gets removed and replaced with someone else' shitty idea in 6mo.
I'm not playing Netflix games unless they bring back the good ol' cable TV games from the late 90s to dick around with your remote on the TV for 10 minutes.
I recently canceled my Netflix subscription just because I use Youtube and Paramount about 150% more often, and then finding out they had ... games lol I don't believe you
told ya
Well, whatever...
EDIT: Sorry, it's just frustration.
How do games on Netflix and Firestick even work? There's no consoles to run the game so I'm assuming the games are streamed
Well without condoms I also wouldn't touch those games, you know, safety first and all
Auto correct is such an asshole
