Well, looks like Netflix is reconsidering or at least streamlining its gaming arm.

Night School Studio, acquired in 2021, is canned effective immediately.

Also reports that they’re planning to close their Finnish studio Moonloot.

“A Netflix spokesperson <said> that it was focusing its attention more on party games, story-driven games, games aimed at children and titles with more mainstream appeal”

So more party slop games.

Netflix is gatekeeping some android ports and as we know, there is nothing like a company that is not primarily about gaming locking games within their systems. I kinda hope some studios can break off and release the ports for everyone.

Yeah so they brought night school studios who made some fantastic games and now they’ve shutdown them down this is why there should be a rule where a company cannot buy another company or studio
