I like… don’t even have an idea in my head of what we’re talking about. Is it like Gamefly for renting video games? Is it like Epic Games Store, a pathetic attempt to cash in on Steam by offering the exact same service but worse? Is it like Amazon App Store, a pathetic attempt to copy the Google App Store but worse? Is it games you play on your TV with the TV remote? (I’m pretty sure I have seen one of two of those on Netflix that my kids played.)
I could look it up but they might see that as interest, and I’m really not interested. Just OOTL.
You have access to a bunch of games accessible through the Netflix app or directly through your app store. Most of the games are available elsewhere and pretty solid like Moonlighter, Terra Nil, Oxenfree, Spiritfarer, Storyteller, Into the Breach. But they are (were?) ad-free full versions of the paid counterparts
So weird… I wonder why they have this whole thing that I had no idea about. I’ve been using Netflix since they were a DVD rental service and I’ve been gaming since the days of Wing Commander and King’s Quest. You’d think I’d be the target demographic yet it’s news to me that it even exists.
EDIT: Oooooh, it’s mobile only. I get it now. It’s really obvious in the app but I never watch Netflix on my phone. And yeah, it’s basically the Amazon app store all over again.

It’s a huge discoverability problem. Most people won’t use Netflix on their phone.
I guess you might find this if you have a tablet?
