Netflix has officially shut down its video game studio in Southern California just after its startup, which was less than two years ago.

    I did a project for school a few months ago about how Netflix should branch into online/cloud gaming and how good of a business move it would be.

    I wanted to pick something lazy and absurd that clearly wouldn’t be effective, so that I could make up stats combining two industries my professor was woefully uneducated in.

    Imagine marketing this so poorly that the one person doing academic research on the topic is doing it as a complete joke and isn’t even aware that you actually offer that service. Rofl. Glad this article didn’t come out while that class was still ongoing.

    Gonna be honest I was 100% immediately turned off from Netflix gaming when they locked out “Into the Breach” mobile release for their subscribers only.

      I must say, the games is one of the few reasons I still pay for Netflix. But I had a similar reaction when certain games were locked behind Apple Arcade, so I understand the sentiment.
