3 Reasons Netflix Could Succeed in Video Games
For more than 20 years, Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) has provided its customers with access to television shows and movies, first on DVDs and now through streaming.
The company has always been disciplined with its approach. It's rejected calls to get into providing live TV like sports or news, and it has resisted the idea of monetizing its platform through advertising, choosing instead to stick with a simple subscription-only plan.
Now, Netflix is ready to break that mold. The company said in its second-quarter shareholder letter that it was in the "early stages of further expanding into gaming," and that it views gaming as another content category, like unscripted shows or animation.
