The news: Netflix is narrowing its focus on gaming categories and plans to release new TV-based games by year-end.
Those categories will be narrative games, multiplayer party games, kids’ games, and “mainstream releases,” Netflix president of games Alain Tascan said at last week’s Game Developers Conference.
The company already has a wide variety of indie mobile games, but Tascan didn’t include those in Netflix’s plans. “We will continue supporting some of them, but I feel that indie gamers are not really coming to Netflix to find indie games,” he said.
