I love companies swinging between “we have to increase your subscription costs to allow us to offer more great features” and “our customers are excited about our new features so we need to leverage advertising to continue providing them”. Just repeat until everything is loaded with ads AND costs twice as much!
honestly, the thing that gets me here is–who even focuses on Netflix Gaming in the first place? i never hear about stuff dropping in their ecosystem, and so it really feels like an afterthought service to begin with that they’ve bolted onto their main business
Ok no joke, I discovered Dead Cells, one of my favourite rougelike games currently, through Netflix. I was browsing through Netflix mobile, saw that they had a gaming section, and that was one of the first suggested games.
I now own 3 copies of Dead Cells+DLCs (one for every platform I game on). However, I don’t have a Netflix subscription anymore, lol.
They have a few good games, I really like Moonlighter
Fuck these companies lol. This is worse than cable ever was and is far more expensive.
Sail the 7 seas and tell them to get fucked.
This guarantees that I’ll never even TRY their service.
Brilliant move, Netfilx. Be sure to mention the in-game ads in all your marketing materials too. I’m sure people will FLOCK to your service in DROVES.
Yeah, you’re supposed to wait until you actually have a user base to enshittify it.
Netflix has a gaming service?
The Enshittification continues! I have no interest in playing games on Netflix so they won’t get ad revenue from me.
This sucks lol. I actually think netflixs gaming selection is pretty solid. I will immediately lose interest if they pull this though
what would you say is the stuff of note in their selection currently?
On Android, not including stuff you can also get outside netflix:
- deaths door
- into the breach
- shovel knight pocket dungeon
- Poinpy (from the downwell dev)
- Spiritfarer
- Moonlighter
There’s also a few things that you can get through Netflix that’s also available outside of it, like dead cells, world of goo and btd6
Overall it’s my go to place when I feel like finding a game to kill some time. They have a lot more than that but those are some of the higher quality ones
Sega Channel never did that shit. 😒
Yeah it was amazing for the 3-4 hours it worked every day.
Damn haven’t thought about that shit for 25 years.
yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Yo I heard you liked ads, so I added ads to your ads so you can read ads while you read ads
From the article:
“It’s suggested that Netflix would only introduce ads to users who already see ads as part of their subscription, which is the case for users on the lower-priced ad-supported models.”
I think people here either did not read the article or completely missed that sentence.
Oh. Well then I guess that just makes it completely okay for ads to just be in games now. Good thing you cleared that up.
Well.
No one is even using Netflix’ games.
Thay just make sure it will stay so.
