However, the gaming industry seems to attract more than its fair share of businesses hoping to expand their portfolios and bank balances. It is, after all, one of the most lucrative sectors on the planet, with an upper echelon of titles earning billions for an already well-off batch of developers. GTA V alone recently topped $6 billion dollars USD in earnings to date.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting into a Lucrative Business<\/h2>\n<p>These almighty cash cows are a rarity, though. Most creators find themselves somewhere between cents and millions \u2013 yet there\u2019s no denying the perennial appeal of putting out a platformer or shooter to a captive audience. One of the more unexpected companies to get involved with gaming recently is, of course, Netflix. The streaming service now has a catalog of 16 titles on the Play Store.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.49 --><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stranger Things - 100% Full Game Walkthrough\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5RT9ytFQyX4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The wording of a recent headline pushed out by the company does suggest that Netflix is eying a <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><u>monthly release cycle<\/u><\/span> for its games, which vary in terms of their genre and visual design. For March, Netflix will add a trio of new apps, namely, This Is a True Story, Shatter Remastered, and Into the Dead 2: Unleashed. Unfortunately, hardly anything in Netflix\u2019s repertoire is actually new.<\/p>\n<p>For some reason better left to future sages, Netflix keeps picking up games that already exist somewhere else or have been previously canceled. A good example is Asphalt Xtreme, which ceased to exist in 2017, only to reappear four years later as an exclusive Netflix title. This bargain-basement, scattergun approach to providing interactive content is a bit unusual yet there are still some gems in the basket.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\">This is a True Story<\/h2>\n<p>Into the Dead 2: Unleashed, a zombie FPS that\u2019s <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><u>already well-established<\/u><\/span> on the Play Store, is arguably Netflix\u2019s best shot at wooing gamers. While there\u2019s a feeling that the company has already missed the boat on zombie games, the flesh-eating baddies never really went anywhere. Evil Dead: The Game came out earlier this year, as did Dying Light 2.\u00a0The genre continues to thrive in some unexpected places, too.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Into the Dead 2 by PikPok - OFFICIAL TRAILER\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4SxSFPYvSS0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Both Resident Evil 1 and 2 have related board games while casino game developers such as Microgaming regularly push out zombie-themed slots. Zombie Hoard, which is playable at <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><u>www.superseven.com<\/u><\/span>, is a good example. The game combines classic slot play with cartoon graphics to create a rather humorous take on the world\u2019s favorite brand of shambling corpses. The online casino offers another two zombie-themed slot machines: Zombie Queen and Zombie Circus.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.49 --><\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in Netflix\u2019s March release bundle, the app \u201cThis is a True Story\u201d tells the somber tale of an African woman\u2019s daily quest to find water. It\u2019s part game, part fundraiser, as it seeks to get players involved with Charity: Water, an organization that has sourced $370 million USD in donations for developing countries since 2019. This altruistic approach to gaming isn\u2019t rare \u2013 look at This War of Mine \u2013 but it does give some purpose to Netflix\u2019s aspirations in the gaming industry.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s no denying it, though \u2013 these are strange times in the TV streaming space. Other services have tried and failed to do something similar to this in the past. Also, with their recent issues with losing subscribers (i.e. price hikes, ad-based tier), maybe gaming is the next frontier for the once streaming giant? Now that they find themselves in a crowded field of streaming competitors. Time will tell if Netflix\u2019s gamble on gaming will pay off. We\u2019ll all be watching.
