    Lmao why. You turn on Netflix when you want to watch movies or TV shows, the battle is already lost in less than a second if you want people to care about your video games.

      Because their whole good catalogue was owned by other people who took it back.

      They didn’t manage their originals well at all, but way more of their issue is the loss of content they weren’t even given a chance at.

      Everything since is desperation trying to claw back that value that isn’t coming back.

      you don’t think trying to find the thing you want to watch is kinda already a puzzle game if you use the TV embeded client. I was not a sub for a long time and last time at my friend’s place we tried to find something using the TV client it really painful. Maybe making it a arcade game so you have to win to watch a show when they buffer everything at higher quality in background is a win?(oh and throw you some ads if you lose and the buffering is not done yet.)

      ps. I basically get the however many month free from a deal and then just cancel it before it ends since I don’t watch/follow tv shows that much, I watched like 4 episodes of stargate and the streaming quality is really not up to par at the time.
