Netflix has taken an extremely important decision that surprises a lot of people from many points of view, and this in the conditions that the platform has recently been increasingly successful. Netflix is an on-demand video streaming platform, but its ambitions go much further than that, so at this time the company is looking to make the transition to the production of games, so it is looking for a leader for a division that will develop them.
Netflix, according to information from sources inside the company, has for some time been looking for a person to take care of this initiative that the American company wants to make profitable. It seems that Netflix has even talked with some people from the management teams of some old companies that develop games, but so far no decision has been made regarding the man who would lead the new adventure that the company is entering.
Netflix: The Important Decision That Takes People by Surprise
Netflix would consider offering its subscribers the opportunity to buy a monthly subscription that would give them access to a series of games that the company makes available, the project being similar to Apple Arcade. Netflix has not denied that it is interested in entering the world of game producers, but for years it has been talking about its interest vis-a-vis such products, but so far nothing has turned into reality.
"Our members appreciate the variety and quality of our content. This is why we have continuously expanded our offering – from series to documentaries, films, local language originals and reality TV. Members also enjoy engaging more directly with the stories they love – through interactive shows like Bandersnatch and You v. Wild, or games based on Stranger Things, La Casa de Papel and To All the Boys. So we're excited to do more with interactive entertainment.”
Netflix has been looking for some time to make other products available to its subscribers apart from the movies and series that everyone already loves, and its search could be successful at some point. Meanwhile, those at Netflix are concentrating on producing films, series, documentaries, cartoons, etc., worth up to 20 billion dollars annually, a huge amount, and if they will also make games, then part of the money they will be directed there.
Netflix will officially announce that it is also making games when it considers it appropriate to do so, but for now we only know about its initiatives from rumours.
