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.

Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

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
Netflix Presents : Dog Whistle 3: Can't Be Bigoted If It's Dave
Someone else in my household pays for it so I have it for now... but I haven't touched it in months.
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.
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?
Netflix has games? Are they real games or trivia games?
I think they had exclusive rights to the phone version of Into The Breach and funded the expansion for it
they’ve got some decent ones on there. I just started playing Shredder’s Revenge and am having a lot of fun. Into The Breach is fantastic. They also have GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas, not that those are exactly new games.
Depending what you’re in to, some mobile versions of good games like Oxenfree and Spiritfarer and Reigns.
Ha, if I want to play games, Netflix is the last place I'd go. Stay in your fucking lane Netflix.
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
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.
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.
Mobile games makes no sense for Netflix. They might as well sell donuts.
The only gaming service that would make sense for Netflix is game streaming. Like Luna or Xbox Cloud gaming.
I'd imagine it would make sense for them to make a publisher or large development studio to make the types of games that their shows have benefited from, like an inverse Warner Bros. WB has always been allergic to making any video game that isn't based off of DC or one of their big movies, but imagine if they did that in reverse and made a game with a movie in mind that could be made out of the same premise? That's the crossover that's worked so well for Netflix shows (and The Last of Us and Mario).
I'd download donuts from Netflix.
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.
Just absolutely desperate to wring out more revenue lmao
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.
Netflix continuing to piss and shit and cum its pants after the one quarter where they had -1% subscriber growth, and the company lost 75% of its value. Investors are such smart cookies.
Well, whatever...
EDIT: Sorry, it's just frustration.
told ya
There are games on Netflix?
