I'd hardly count something like a simple Solitaire clone app that could be otherwise played for free as a full game release... In terms of actual games, I'd much rather support mobile ports that can be bought for a one time price tag than those that are locked behind a subscription in perpetuity.
It sounds like they’ve got some plans, though I’m not sure there’s anything I’d actually be interested in:
"And this is an area that we've been able to move in quickly in a particular space, which is interactive narrative games. These are easier to build. And we place those in a narrative hub that we call Netflix Stories."
"I think the idea of being able to take a show and give the superfan a place to be in between seasons and even beyond that, to be able to use the game platform to introduce new characters and new storylines or new plot twist events [...] I'm really excited to see where this goes."
I wish those things were separate subscriptions though. Now you are paying for Netflix being a movie/series streaming platform, a flmstudio, a game developer and publisher in one subscription. I just need a subscription for the first thing.
I hate it! Would be so much better if they funded regular devs to make regular games that are sold like normal
