This guarantees that I'll never even TRY their service.

Brilliant move, Netfilx. Be sure to mention the in-game ads in all your marketing materials too. I'm sure people will FLOCK to your service in DROVES.

Yeah, you're supposed to wait until you actually have a user base to enshittify it.

I love companies swinging between "we have to increase your subscription costs to allow us to offer more great features" and "our customers are excited about our new features so we need to leverage advertising to continue providing them". Just repeat until everything is loaded with ads AND costs twice as much!

honestly, the thing that gets me here is--who even focuses on Netflix Gaming in the first place? i never hear about stuff dropping in their ecosystem, and so it really feels like an afterthought service to begin with that they've bolted onto their main business

And that is exactly the problem.

They throw a half assed product at the wall without notifying anyone, nothing sticks, so now they're throwing in ads to recover costs.

I really feel like the C suites of these companies are run by complete morons, without hyperbole. These people are not good at what they're doing. They just floated to the top during a period where money was free and being bold was more important than being right.

Fuck these companies lol. This is worse than cable ever was and is far more expensive.

Sail the 7 seas and tell them to get fucked.
