Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t get into the mindset of opening Netflix to play games. It’s too big a disconnect.

This is coming from someone who uses his Xbox to watch Netflix shows.

Your Netflix subscription allows you to download the games separately. It’s a licensing deal.

Like flash games but worse is what I would image netflix games to be.

From what I’ve seen, they aren’t building the games, they are licensing existing ones. There are decent games in the mix.

One of the games you can download on Android with a Netflix subscription is Into the Breach. I played that game so much while I had a subscription. It plays so well on mobile and I wish I could just pay the devs to own a copy but sadly Netflix is the only way to play it on that platform. I doesn’t quite seem worth resubbing to Netflix for one game.

I love Into the Breach, I played it for quite a while on my pc. Never thought about it but playing it on your phone makes sense

Same I wish I could just buy a copy of Into the Breach. Hopefully their contract isn’t indefinite and it will happen eventually, but maybe I’m just being optimistic.

I have it on steam; I want it on my phone. Sometimes I game stream it but the controls are a bit clunky that way.

Implying Netflix can learn…

Yes. Learn what makes them more money. The limited password sharing crackdown world, so they rolled it out worldwide, for example.

Oh wow, they picked up Hades. I could see some potential here, if they’re getting high quality content instead of the MTX trash.
