According to The Wall Street Journal, the company has had discussions about how to make money from its games for months now, including in-app purchases, putting a price tag on more premium titles and placing ads on games that subscribers to its ad tier have access to. These methods are common (and effective) in the mobile gaming world, with consumers expected to spend $111.4 billion on mobile games in 2024
The only reason Netflix games library is decent, its are not laid with ads or in-app purchases. If that was changed it would no longer make the experience enjoyable. Hopefully, they don't.
So they are going to put ads and in-app purchases inside of a paid streaming app that also has ads? Games as part of Netflix only made sense if they were part of a value-add. Having the games individually having monetization completely invalidates paying for Netflix (aside from video).
This is a dumb idea, and Netflix knows it. Sounds like an intentional plan to kill off their game segment.
The fuck is the point then? you get to pay to have the privilege of paying more for a mobile game?
All the netflix games I see are just shitty mobile games, nothing of value will be lost.
Meh, just canceled Netflix anyway. Their lineup is shit.
Going back to the seven seas.
this was the obvious next step
why won't someone think of the shareholders?
I didn't even know netflix had games, oh well. Meanwhile, the games I bought from GoG are DRM free and mine forever.
