Netflix Games Are a Flop
With the OTT space cooked up by a number of platforms recently, pioneers like Netflix are thinking out-of-the-box to stay afloat. And one way they followed is the introduction of games based on their own content – to keep people interested in their offerings.
The platform currently has about 24 games, with plans of adding more to the catalog over time, says Netflix Chief Operating Officer Greg Peters.
“We’re going to be experimental and try a bunch of things. But I would say the eyes that we have on the long-term prize really center more around our ability to create properties that are connected to the universes, the characters, and the stories that we’re building.”
As it seems minuscule, Netflix betting on this seems unreasonable. Netflix games come at no cost than the premium subscription a user posses and include no ads too. Yet, they’re neglected by people.
May the platform surveys this and consider what the community really cares about. While it’s reasonable that Netflix should include some unique offering to stand out, building games around its content may not be the way Netflix is better at.
Well, the platform announced plans for cracking password sharing and even introducing an ad-tier plan at a cheaper cost. So hopefully, we can see Netflix gaining its ground by playing normally as rivals.
