The problem is brand recognition. There are zero games I know of that netflix has published. When I read this announcement, I immediately thought they bought movie or film related brands. If you talk about content without context, I’d think you were talking about a movie or show. When someone recommends Netflix, it’s never for their games.

Does this mean Netflix can’t? No…but Microsoft is doing the same thing and the only news I hear is how studios are being shut down. Unless Netflix had some plan beyond publishing or streaming games, I don’t see it working out. And if they do, why do they need to buy WB games to do it?
