I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
Netflix seems to want to continue to make inroads into gaming, offering dozens of decently good mobile-focused titles on its service. But it wanted more, which is why it formed an internal studio that was meant to make a AAA multiplatform game based on an original IP., that has been shut down despite its big plans and all-star list of recruited talent.
We have seen this happen with other streamers like Amazon, which through partners has produced still-healthy games like Lost Ark and New World, but it recently cut 180 jobs from its gaming division and has cancelled some of its original games like Crucible, back in 2020. It’s been rough going over there.
AAA gaming is not for the faint of heart, and it appears even as Netflix dominates the streaming landscape, breaking into big-budget is another matter entirely, no matter what talent you manage to scoop up. I hope we hear more about what exactly happened here in the future.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
