If only 1% of users are using Netflix for gaming, which is already a popular mobile app that can run on mobile toasters, then why try to create a cloud gaming platform? The only reason why you would do that is to allow people with several devices, or older devices, to stream games, but the Netflix App is already on those devices.
Also everyone and their aunt charlie are coming out with cloud gaming these days, there's no way for all of these to succeed in the market place, there's little reason to own multiple cloud services. I don't want to be a downer, but i don't think this is going to work and Netflix should look into a new strategy to gain back lost subscribers, because gaming is full and that's the reality of it, there's too many services.
It appears that Netflix is developing its own “cloud gaming service” alongside its mobile games. The particulars were revealed in a job listing for the senior rendering engineer position that some witnessed on its website.
Netflix is “rapidly expanding new gaming offerings.” Netflix is spreading its influence outside the mobile platform and looking to invest further into innovative technologies like Cloud gaming. The website cites, “Bring your passion for games and joy of enabling others as we build our games experience.
It continues, “We are rapidly expanding new gaming offerings, so we are seeking a rendering engineer who is excited to help us lead the continued building and scaling of our efforts for our international audience.”
Netflix also mentions, “We are looking for a rendering engineer to support our cloud gaming service. In this role, you will help optimize the rendering of games so we can render multiple games on our cloud gaming appliances.”
The senior rendering engineer will focus on writing high-quality games for its cloud gaming service. “You will also assist with the development of SDKs to enable game developers to succeed in writing high-quality games for the Netflix cloud games ecosystem.”
Netflix’s new Cloud gaming service might be like Xbox Game Pass, Stadia, or PlayStation Now. It may become a worthwhile competitor to the aforementioned giants of the cloud gaming industry. We may not hear anything official regarding its progress for a long time; the new service appears to be in very skeletal stages.
