    Taking games that already exist and locking them behind their subscription. They already did it to Into the Breach. Time to boycott the the makers of these games for making shitty deals (Supergiant Games, Devolver Digital, Subset Games).

      Subset Games is two people. The game has been available on Windows, Mac, and Linux for five years, during which they gave away a significant expansion for free. You’re not punching up by calling for a boycott against EA or Activision here, these are indie developers and this is presumably their livelihood.

          Instead? Instead of what? Just not developing a mobile version?

            No, you claimed it’s only two people and I shouldn’t punch down. Instead, these two people think everyone else should pick up a Netflix subscription just to play their game. Boo hoo

          Presumably they could never afford to port to mobile themselves, without cooperating with Netflix. Since you don’t want to pay for a Netflix subscription… You’re not missing out on anything. It wouldn’t have existed if not for Netflix.

      The games already exist, but not on mobile. I’d agree if they were available on mobile already and then went behind a paywall subscription. If the games would never exist on mobile if Netflix wasn’t paying for them to be there, then I don’t mind as much
