Netflix wants to buy video game studios

In recent years, Netflix has been trying small forays into the world of video games.

After productions such as

and the takeover of Night School Studio (Oxenfree) in September, the streaming giant confirms that it will continue to offer video game experiences to the to come up.

This will not be done, however, by pursuing an aggressive studio buyout policy like Microsoft or Sony can.

Gregory Peters, COO at Netflix, detailed Netflix's policy during the presentation of the financial results for the last quarter: “This is something that will be opportunistic. So I would say we shouldn't expect us to go on a shopping spree or anything like that. This will be one of the tools that we will use, and we will use it opportunistically when we find a good opportunity. "

Wilmot Reed Hastings, Co-CEO of Netflix, added, “You can see from our track record that we are quite selective when it comes to mergers and acquisitions.

But like Greg said, when an opportunity presents itself and we feel like we're in sync with the business, I think it's an opportunity that we will seize.

But again, it's nothing more than that.

Slowly

Gregory Peters also welcomed the recent Night School Studio takeover: “We're really excited about what the team stands for, as their goal is to keep the narrative mechanics and story at the center of the game. It's great. to have them on board and listen to their ideas.

I expect a very rich partnership over the next few years.

"

Netflix's recipe therefore seems simple: few acquisitions, but targeted.

A strategy that could evolve over the years if Netflix manages to make enough money with this branch.

But for now, we will have to be content with one-off productions from Netflix.
