Netflix Plans To Add Video Game Service To Draw New Subscribers
If the games are like the game on Snapchat.
Nah I’m good.
They already have, you own nothing
They are late in this game. Bytedance who own tiktok bought Mobile Legends already
They're going to add snake and Tetris
fail is where that's going 🤣🤣🤣
"…a new video game executive from Facebook…"
LOL
Facebook doesn't have games.
They have dopamine trash.
I'll just buy Valves new console and have Steam.
They'll start chasing games like they do shows, but they'll also start to produce them as well like netflix does. I'm surprised Amazon doesn't produce their own games yet, especially since they have the whole Amazon AWS platform. Ohhh nevermind… Amazon made an MMO, New World
Netflix can’t even make good shows 🤦â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂ
They need to team with stadia
Netflix: I'm Going To Do What's Called A Pro Gamer Move.
This is a vary good choice I dont know why people think it's so bad I guess its dummy's being dummy's
Why don't they use diversity and not tokens to gain new subscribers.
I don't see this working for large, triple A titles. Some games sell upwards of $10 million dollars worth, Netflix can't pay enough for a big enough library. I guess I could see low budget indie games on their platform though.
They're on life support at this stage, predominantly thanks to the Cuties scandal last year. This gaming idea will just be a final nail for them.
It's simple. All they need to do is un-cancel Dark Crystal.
WHEN
When I think of games on Netlfix, games like the Telltale series come to mind.
I have so many questions?, Cloud gaming?, what types of games?, AA, AAA games?, how will the service be monetized?, any dev studios?, any plans to compete against Game Pass?.
Will Netflix build their own console? or will the service be on Ps5 and Xbox Series X and PC and TV trough the cloud?.
Lag is the unbeatable problem for these kind of sites . Good luck with that
I am getting very strong Stadia vibes
Do they legit think they’re gonna make this work. Like, deadass.
Wow they can do it
Great tutorial I’m also living testimony I got 10,000 thousand CashApp flip from Maskoffweb on YouTube never doubt work with him you won’t regret working with them
Only blockbuster
Hy
Cuties and your other racially motivated and lgbtq overdose of propaganda didn't work out for you…did it
Well.. the rainbow kiddies will line up. It is their little glitter cloud reality, so they are certain to go with the "game programming" they will get edutained with.
I don’t think that should it works that way
It will be a failure
Why amzn provide games too
I really just wish Netflix would stop cancellation of the things they start. Finish what you start, Netflix!!
What kinds of games are we talking? There is a huge gap of current services for Netflix to even try to compare
Facebook games are not “video gamesâ€ÂÂ. Don’t need to play FarmVille on my Netflix app. I especially don’t need prices to get jacked up over nothing. Netflix should stay as it is and play in its lane. It went from offering other company movies to having its own studio too.
Really???? How about this… STOP CANCELING YOU GOOD SHOWS!!!!!
Not bad puzzles and whatever is nice to get off the mundane series. Older and younger people love this . All of us out the Fortnite and PlayStation loop
Obvious power grab by two un invested parties. Facebook can go away.
Ban that garbage.
How about New Shows and Movies! How about that! Catch me Outside Netflix!
After Obama I took out there app. Best move I ever made.
