If Netflix can make cloud gaming work like Netflix is right now...flat monthly fee...access to hundreds of streamed games...I will jump on it in a second.
Keeping up with PC gaming hardware has become so outrageously expensive that millions of people would jump on this.
Have you played any of their current games? Probably not, since, according to Apptopia, less than 1% of Netflix users have ever tried one of their games - even though the app forces you to scroll past the games every single time you want to watch a show.
Netflix's ambitions seem to start and stop with simple "phone game" skinner boxes. Which I guess makes sense, considering Netflix announced they're going to "crack down on password sharing" by make their service completely useless on phones - he typed sarcastically.
But I wonder if their hit rate will be better than their original shows. People seem willing to sort through 99 badly written and cheaply made shows/movies to find the 1% that are watchable. I wonder if they will do the same with the games.
I don't know. I'm done with Netflix so long as their current leadership keeps their jobs. They seem to think that they can compete with Disney/CBS/Comcast/Amazon by cutting corners and providing an inferior product that is consistently getting worse while raising prices. Also, they need to reset their algorithm or something, because it's starting to show some of those youtube problems of "Too much terrible content that I have explicitly told it I don't want" and "Can't figure out what language I speak". 2 good shows a year isn't even close to be worth paying $15+ a month, forever. It would be cheaper to just unsubscribe and buy every Netflix show popular enough to get a physical release.
But, of course, Netflix is a streaming service. It costs them money if you actually watch their content. They, like all streaming services, just want you to sign up for an autopay subscription and forget that you're paying the bill.
