The delistings are yet another example of Netflix struggling to find its footing in gaming.

I don't think "gaming" is related at all here, but I admit I only watched Bandersnatch and Kimmy Schmidt.

I saw this as an attempt at Choose-Your-Own-Adventure films. The book form is still reading, not suddenly a game. Similarly the film form is still watching, not a game.

As for the actual content, I think Bandersnatch worked really well. I think Kimmy Schmidt did not. I'm guessing most people just want to zone out and watch.

As someone that went out of their way to try to choose every option in Kimmy Schmidt, I agree that it didn't work for it.
