Netflix buys its third studio and adds games
The story revolves around number three, and that is after the purchase of Night School Studio, developer of titles such as Afterparty or Oxenfree, and Next Games, the team behind the Stranger Things or The Walking Dead game: Survival Instinct and No Man's Land (sequel to the previous one, not the famous No Man's Land), the American firm Boss Fight Entertainment becomes the great N of VOD's new subsidiary.
Boss Fight Entertainment's only release to date is Dungeon Boss, a "strategic RPG" for mobile that has had moderate success, but which has served as the perfect cover letter for Netflix to buy them with the goal of "focusing on creating great games without worrying about monetization," according to the company's press release.
For the time being, Dungeon Boss is still available on Google Play and the App Store for anyone who wants to download it without being a Netflix customer.
There has been no indication of when or if this will change. All of these acquisitions, however, appear to be oriented toward the future rather than the present.
The most intriguing title is yet to be released and is based on an existing one from a non-Netflix studio…yet?
Regardless, because these three titles are exclusive to Netflix users, they are offered without advertising or further compensation.
In total, Netflix has 17 games under its belt, 18 by the time Into The Dead 2: Unleashed is launched, and none of them have been a great hit or tempting enough to attract anybody to pay for a membership to its VOD service, which no longer exists due to the content of this. That is the essential question.
Netflix does not cease producing masses of content in the hopes of having something for everyone, but it fails to do so because the majority of what it produces is of questionable quality; it seasons it with extras like these games, which, no matter how tiny, your investment has… And the subscription price keeps rising in order to cover everything.
The question is, how long can he keep doing so?
