Netflix, perhaps after realizing the severity of its recent performance, is establishing its own in-house game studio in an attempt to rely less on third-party developers, and promises to make “world class” original titles without ads or in-app purchases (which seems to be impossible for some greedy developers).
The game studio will be based in Helsinki and Marko Lastikka, from Zynga and EA, will serve as a director. This is the first time Netflix will build a studio as opposed to purchasing existing ones (such as The Walking Dead developer Next Games).
Amir Rahimi, the VP of Game Studios, spoke in a press release:
“This is another step in our vision to build a world-class games studio that will bring a variety of delightful and deeply engaging original games — with no ads and no in-app purchases — to our hundreds of millions of members around the world. It’s still early days, and we have much more work to do to deliver a great games experience on Netflix. Creating a game can take years, so I’m proud to see how we’re steadily building the foundation of our games studios in our first year, and look forward to sharing what we produce in the coming years.”
While several games are available through Netflix’s mobile app, it is alleged that less than one percent of Netflix subscribers play the service’s games on a daily basis.
New job listings that began last month, as well as the addition of new social features to its games service, indicate that Netflix is slowly building up its gaming sector.
This is the funniest thing i’ve heard today
They can’t make adaptations based on source material as easy work correctly and they want to start making video games?
yet you westerner watch it in masses.
well said, I was about to comment something similar lol
As long as an idiot appears promising to buy this product, they will push socialist garbage into another venture.
There is no need to be successful, just that it has diversity and lgbt in all content, it’s worth even developing indie games!
the funniest thing is when the sancucks are pathetic
Pathetic is an idiot who lives defending leftards, he thinks he’s a big deal but keeps coming back to this site..like a moth to the light..

As if the industry didn’t have enough terrible woke studios. I’ll be sure to avoid anything they make.
Here we go
They will add the gay to their games just like their original series.
