Most of you already know first-hand that Netflix is known for the movies, series, and documentaries that we can play on its platform. We find content both of our own production and that of third parties and we have the possibility of pay a subscription to benefit from it all. However, and partly due to its enormous popularity, the company as such wants to enter other sectors that are also related to leisure.
Now we are going to talk about a new movement that is becoming known right now and on which Netflix is starting to work. First of all, we must bear in mind that, despite being a platform that is well known and loved by many, that does not mean that its launches are guaranteed success. We tell you all this because Netflix is currently working on a online gaming service what could compare to stadia from Google that has recently disappeared. In fact, we could say that this company has not learned the lesson of what has happened to the search giant with its cloud gaming service.
With everything and with it, it has started with the development of its own service with these characteristics and thus offer games in the cloud to its millions of users. So much so that in these moments it has already confirmed its interest in entering this sector.
Netflix confirms its interest in entering cloud gaming
To give you an idea of the veracity of all this, it should be noted that this is a statement that has already been revealed by Netflix’s vice president of game development, Mike Verdu. Of course, they want to get into this video game industry in the cloud little by little. In fact, their strategy will be very similar to the one they used at the time with the arrival of mobile games.
Actually, initially they do not want to be converted as a replacement for the console that we have connected to the TV. This service would be more of an addition to all the video content that we currently enjoy in the form of movies and series. Another of its main objectives is that, as happens with video content, its customers have the possibility to play at any time.
The most striking thing about all this is that Netflix has not learned from the negative experience that Google has just suffered with its already defunct Stadia. However, when asked about this, Green ensures that the error of the search giant was due to its business model. He assures that both the technology and the available content were not to blame for this failure.
Of course, at first and seen what has been seen, the forecasts are not too rosy. But we will have to wait for the proposal of games in the cloud that Netflix will offer us soon to give a actual valuation.
