Our Thoughts
Though it is a small step by Netflix and a compact library of game choices, the process will widen in the near future. The library will surely expand with the success and there’s a possibility of Netflix, as a company, to enter the gaming culture along with its rival Amazon Prime, which offers a lot more currently (Streaming, games, twitch prime, games drop, music fast and no cost deliveries and much more).
