[Release] Netflix Game Controller App

Touch screen controls suck for gaming. Unless Netflix is also planning to support Bluetooth controllers with actual buttons this is going to flop worse than Stadia.
Why do you think it will flop like Stadia? I think there’s a big difference between both services. Netflix is mobile first, doesn’t stream games (so far) and there’s not much competition.

There’s not much competition because gamers mostly don’t like the idea of streaming their games. I heard good things about Stadia from the people who actually used it, but even in their cases the games with actual hardware attached to them got more playtime.

Everyone else is a casual phone gamer, and I can’t see that crowd ditching what’s already on their phone.

Plus Netflix ain’t cheap. $15/month for the rest of your life to play games? No thanks.

why isn’t this on android? It’s not like Netflix is an iOS exclusive
They most probably will also release it on Android. Just a matter of time.
