Netflix may be exploring introducing in-game ads to its gaming service.
You're viewing a single thread.
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
And that is exactly the problem.
They throw a half assed product at the wall without notifying anyone, nothing sticks, so now they're throwing in ads to recover costs.
I really feel like the C suites of these companies are run by complete morons, without hyperbole. These people are not good at what they're doing. They just floated to the top during a period where money was free and being bold was more important than being right.
