Netflix expanding its library of unplayed digital dust collectors, with 40 more games set to launch by 2023.

bit needlessly mean of a headline?

I know right? I was coming in here to say the same thing.

Mean but... not really wrong. I dont know a soul who's played games on Netflix since they launched them over a year ago.
It has all the negativity of all the other gaming subscription services but with even less (arguably zero) good content and features. Plus you can get Play Pass for 30 bucks a year with an absurd amount more mobile gaming content, achievements, cross friends lists, play time tracking, cloud saves, no ads, etc etc etc. The article could have gone into detail on why Netflix's gaming offerings are rough rather than just saying "nobody uses this lol" and for that reason it's a trash-tier article, but the very little that it said still isn't wrong.

As a Canadian, they've started charging us for accessing our accounts in other houses or password sharing with friends and family (even on the highest price 10 screen tier) so i aint gonna defend any negativity this awful company gets.

They’ve got some great games on there. If you like games you should one hundred percent have a look. Just so people here believe me

Into the breach - the only other game the people who made ftl have made, it’s awesome

Turtles shredders revenge

Oxenfree

Immortality

Kentucky route zero

Valiant hearts

Don’t get me wrong, there’s some nonsense on there as well, and some of these are old, but for free and on your phone… I don’t think you can go wrong

It's a Netflix should stay in their lane article while everyone else do as they please article.

[porkChop]

So what? At least they're making actual games. We don't ask for most of the games that get made but people still enjoy them.

Still haven't got round to playing "valiant heart" on Netflix. Guess I'm just not fussed about mobile games as I loved the PlayStation version

[LabRat]

Nobody asked for this article, yet here we are.

“No added fees”

/jacks up Netflix subscription rates in 6 months

Stranger Things Puzzle game has been F2P since I started it months ago. As in its Free and the shop is broken so you just get freebies every month with zero risk of giving in and buying something.

I prefer my games without adverts and microtransactions. A company which is offering mobile games without either should be encouraged, not dismissed.

Also, the article asks "Where do you even find them?" which is a spurious question. They are not hidden: You find the Netflix games by clicking "Games" at the bottom of the android Netflix app.

[poppatron]

Yeah you just go to Netflix app on the App Store and scroll down to other by Netflix inc. on the App Store. I love into the breach so bad. Ftl was the reason I got an iPad ten years ago and I love it to this day

[northpaws]

They even have TMNT Shredder's Revenge, doesn't cost a penny, zero ads, what to complain about? Netflix is now my go to source for offline ads free mobile games to play on the planes.

[Silver_ShadoWolf]

Wow. Most of the comments are from people who are triggered. Why are they triggered, I have no idea. But come on. Netflix is making worse moves than Stadia, and you all are defending it because your egos need to feel validated? Ok. We all know this is a fruitless effort and will be shut down within a year.

[MadLad]

Imagine being such a child you literally write an article complaining about getting extra games added to your already owned subscription.

Go check the actual games on offer. There's some shovelware in there; of course. There's also some truly great games in there as well.

As someone that will never have a Netflix subscription, I do hope their gaming initiative fails so they don't buy any more developers or have exclusives.
