According to The Wall Street Journal, the company has had discussions about how to make money from its games for months now, including in-app purchases, putting a price tag on more premium titles and placing ads on games that subscribers to its ad tier have access to. These methods are common (and effective) in the mobile gaming world, with consumers expected to spend $111.4 billion on mobile games in 2024

The only reason Netflix games library is decent, its are not laid with ads or in-app purchases. If that was changed it would no longer make the experience enjoyable. Hopefully, they don’t.

    I’ve only used the Asphalt Xtreme game, and it’s awesome. It’s like the old asphalt 6 days where you raced cars and didn’t need to worry about fuel or in-app micro transactions to progress.

    The only selling point to Netflix gaming is that there are no in-app purchases or ads. I can’t see any scenario where adding adds/micro transactions doesn’t immediately kill Netflix gaming.

    Frankly, I think this whole thing is a beat up for clicks.
