Netflix considering ways to make money from video games, WSJ reports

Netflix is eyeing ways to generate revenue from video games, The Wall Street Journal’s Jessica Toonkel reports. According to people familiar with the matter, some of the ideas that have been discussed include in-app purchases, charging for more sophisticated games it is developing or giving subscribers to its newer ad-supported tier access to games with ads in them. “We want to have a differentiated gaming experience, and part of that is giving game creators the ability to think about building games purely from the perspective of player enjoyment and not having to worry about other forms of monetization, whether it be ads or in-game payment,” Netflix Co-CEO Greg Peters told investors in April.
