Oh wow, I had no interest at all in trying these previously. Reducing the quality of the games by adding ads and in app purchases is exactly the thing that will push me to give it a try.
I've never even heard of netflix having games on their platform.
GTA 3, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, Into The Breach, Dead Cells, Kentucky Route Zero, Oxenfree, Bloons TD 6, World of Goo, ...
It's a pretty decent selection

Eh, Poinpy is actually a lot of fun.
I take it that the word you wrote, is in fact a game on Netflix, and not just some word you made up?
Indeed. It's a good little mobile game.
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.
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.
I already canceled Netflix when they stopped allowing me to use my account in multiple locations.
Not at all surprised their games got microtransactioms.
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.
wasn't lack of microtransactions and ads the whole point of these?
Yes, just what I wanted.
I don't even want interactive titles, why did Netflix clutter the interface with games? I just want to how some noise in the background, so I don't have to listen to my thoughts.
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.
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 download donuts from Netflix.
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).

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.
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 has games?
Just absolutely desperate to wring out more revenue lmao
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
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
This abusive business model is the dominant strategy.
If we allow this to continue, there will be nothing else.
Only legislation will fix this.
Unsubscribing from Netflix fixes this.
Its easy as fuck to unsubscribe from netflix. I'm completely guilt free by not paying them money
