First I've heard of it.
They had one?
It wasn't a terrible idea, but I'm not surprised that it failed
And nothing of value was lost.
It should have been a AAAAA studio. That is where they fucked up.
Or, they fucked up thinking that people wanting to watch movies wanted to play games....
Wasn't it all mobile games? I'm pretty sure that was the exact market they were looking for. People with short attention spans that can't put down the phone, even while consuming other media.
I just ignored all the ads and any news, so you are likely correct. I did think that most of the games were mobile, but I must have been mistaken in thinking it was playable on Netflix clients on your TV or something.
I used to play Pac-Man on my old FireTV with the controller while I was killing time in the mornings before work, so I thought it was similar in that regard.
Damn, I didn't know that was a thing either, lol. I'd play retro games on the TV remote.
