Netflix Will Offer Nearly 50 Games By End of 2022

Mobile gaming is the worst niche Netflix could possibly try to enter. iOS and Android already have a well-established marketplace for games, and most of them are free. I think their reasoning was probably something like "Most Netflix users watch on their cell phone, so we should add some games." I can't imagine Netflix producing games compelling enough to keep me away from Pokemon GO, Mario Kart Tour and Call of Duty Mobile. The big companies already have our niche taken care of here, no need for a video streaming company to try to come in and do things better. Best case scenario, the games will appeal to the casual gaming niche, but those are niche games already available in app stores and the people who play them are not going to buy Netflix just for those 50 Netflix games. It'll be a nice little bonus for them but as soon as $10/mo gets too expensive to continue, they'll cancel.

Well... Netflix loves to rip off other movies and series.

I can't way to see the great original gaming creations that will come out.

Angry Chickens, Vegetables vs Mummies, Floppy Frog, Demagorgan Go and my absolute favorite, Hikes of Fees (Kinda like Clash of Clans, but with a 10% cost increase everytime you play it).

They blaming every thing for their problems except the real problem. Netflix is losing people not because of competition or pw sharing. But their own lack of good content coming out and their price hikes. And then on top of that they started customer shaming with the whole pw sharing thing.

Netflix like our own government obviously needs to clean house and start fresh. Because the people in charge have no idea what they are doing. They are prioritizing short term profits over long term growth. They were a clear leader in the streaming industry now they looking to put themselves out of business.

And this decision to get into the gaming space is just another bad idea. They need to fix what they have before expanding.

Alright I will take the 2nd negative or be the devil's advocate.

I hope that Netflix jumps into the gaming space wholeheartedly, both mobile, PC, and with luck ...console. Mobile crap, sure. A bigger selection of PC game via a DDP like steam, gog, etc yeah bring it on. Have, Netflix come out with their own console, even better.

Even when a corporation jumps into or fails out of the gaming industry it is always good for gamers. It pumps up competition, controls prices, increases innovation, and funds game developers not just for their current game but that next one down the line. For every Turbo grafx 16, every Sega, every Google STadia, UPlay .... every step backwards allows a better step forward for gamers.

So Netflix starts offering free to play mobile games along with its subscriptions- how does this hurt us hardcore gamers? how does it hurt Netflix subscribers, how does it hurt mobile games?.... (well nothing can hurt them more then what they have already done to themselves) Truth is, it doesn't. The competition is good. Gamers are just to embedded in this fanboy, one camp or another. Consumer participation in the gaming industry does not have to be a WWE wrestling match where there is a clear protagonist and a clear antagonist. (good vs evil).

The gaming industry is now larger then music and film, there are more games that come out each year then some consoles got their entire lifespan. WE as gamers could stand to have another big competitor enter the console field... yeah yeah I know gaming consoles are dead. OR enter into the Digital Distribution Platform PC to compete against Steam and the dozens of others entering the field. I know there are a lot of people still shell-shocked when FOX became the 4th tv network or still in the ICU after they introduce the 'female M&M'. And all gamers have to take a breathe and not freak out if they do not happen to own a platform that happens to have a popular game that is not on theirs.

Big players entering the gaming industry, like a Netflix, amazon, apple... have now done.... is a good thing. It gives gaming consumers options, and more choices... even if those choices seem hard.

And they will all be cancelled after the first season.

yay! low budget mobile crap

Oooh, Netflix is going to have games as a subscription? Interes..... oh it's mobile. Ok thanks no one cares, bye.

Like when your buddy is hammered and wants to do a stage dive off the festival porta-potties, this will end spectacularly well.

Netflix Will Offer Nearly 50 Games By End of 2022…

…and most people will play none of them. Better companies than Netflix have tried to break into gaming, and failed.

Good luck with that and I mean it, but for me I am not interested.
