It'll be some streaming shit like Stadia that will go nowhere. If it's either of these, it'll fail hard. If they just straight up buy Steam or GOG, or maybe Epic (not sure if that's even possible, depends how much richer Netflix is than any of them) and just keep on keepin' on, they could probably do fine. That's the American Way after all. Don't invent or innovate, just gobble up the company that did the work already. <cite>streamofthesky posted [p:953058846] in Netflix Ma...
