Netflix considers adding in-app purchases and ads to games, report says | TechCrunch

techcrunch.com

For two years, Netflix subscribers have been able to download tons of mobile games, all included for free with their subscription. Netflix has developed Netflix could potentially be exploring ways to generate revenue from its games like in-app purchases and ads.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the company has had discussions about how to make money from its games for months now, including in-app purchases, putting a price tag on more premium titles and placing ads on games that subscribers to its ad tier have access to. These methods are common (and effective) in the mobile gaming world, with consumers expected to spend $111.4 billion on mobile games in 2024

The only reason Netflix games library is decent, its are not laid with ads or in-app purchases. If that was changed it would no longer make the experience enjoyable. Hopefully, they don’t.

I think Netflix Games is stupid.

I have a Netflix account.

But to download a Google play game then to be told to log into my Netflix account or else uninstall? That’s stupid.
