A look at Netflix's gaming initiative: experimenting with ways to surface games to subscribers, hiring for a cloud gaming service, acquiring studios, and more
Netflix's foray into gaming is dead on arrival — at least according to the latest headlines about the company's first few mobile games.

People made a big deal about only 1% of Netflix's users playing its games. But new data shows that hit shows like Stranger Things massively boost tie-in games & the company almost doubled daily users in July. Now, it's looking at cloud gaming, too. https://www.protocol.com/...
A couple of newsy tidbits in my story about Netflix games today: The company just hired a FoxNext, Capcom and Kabam veteran as head of live services. https://www.protocol.com/...
I also found a job listing that mentions the company's “cloud gaming appliances” and the “Netflix cloud games ecosystem.” 👀👀👀 https://www.protocol.com/...
