you can't just buy your way into the gaming industry.
This is like starting your own record label. with no talent signed to it. people aren't going to listen to some trash rapper just because he signed to a major.
would have been better off buying an established game studio.

they'll be respected more for getting it out the mud.

They probably see how cd project red was able to drive game sales with the cyberpunk anime and the witcher live action and figure why not go the other way.

:huhldup: This sounds legit scary. Imagine the DLC being half done like the seasons for the shows :sadcam:

That could be the future anyway. Like here’s part of this game for your subscription, part 2 comes out in 3 months, and part 3 in 5 months. Just to keep you locked in, once they see that no ones playing it they like you know what? Part 4 isn’t coming out. Like tell tale did with walking dead, mass effect did with andromeda, and FFXV did with the last two episodes.

If the spending and competition scared away GOOGLE of all companies I don’t know how Netflix thinks they can make it work unless do they something truly innovative (doubtful). They’d be better off licensing their IPs for established devs IMO

Even Amazon hasn’t been super aggressive in the gaming space and they’ve actually had some success with their original games

That choose your own adventure shyt with Black Mirror is already a lane that Netflix can get into and easily integrate into their existing service without forcing their users to buy controllers or whatever.
