From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it's gaming you can probably discuss it here!

honestly, the thing that gets me here is--who even focuses on Netflix Gaming in the first place? i never hear about stuff dropping in their ecosystem, and so it really feels like an afterthought service to begin with that they've bolted onto their main business
Ok no joke, I discovered Dead Cells, one of my favourite rougelike games currently, through Netflix. I was browsing through Netflix mobile, saw that they had a gaming section, and that was one of the first suggested games.
I now own 3 copies of Dead Cells+DLCs (one for every platform I game on). However, I don't have a Netflix subscription anymore, lol.
They have a few good games, I really like Moonlighter
And that is exactly the problem.
They throw a half assed product at the wall without notifying anyone, nothing sticks, so now they're throwing in ads to recover costs.
I really feel like the C suites of these companies are run by complete morons, without hyperbole. These people are not good at what they're doing. They just floated to the top during a period where money was free and being bold was more important than being right.
