key companies in the video game sector

Press X to doubt. Didn't Google try this sort of thing with Stadia already? Why is Netflix spending money on becoming a video game company? Are they trying to justify the price increases?
- They are trying to diversify since streaming is not a sustainable business on its own. What they are trying is more similar to something like Apple Arcade than Stadia.

I wonder if there’s any possibility that new entrants to the space will end up internally using Stadia servers. It’s bad for Google if all their cloud investment hardware ends up going right in the bin, and it’s not always good stuff to use for other business server projects.
