    So, to make a splash in the gaming market Netflix is choosing… one of the worst releases of all time. Interesting strategy there. Unfortunately it will still probably sell like crazy.

    Also

    including through one of the most iconic series in history, without any ads, in-app purchases, or extra fees.

    So to be clear - They obviously have been thinking about in-app purchases, ads, and extra fees. Hoo-boy there service just sounds swell.

      It’s included in the Netflix subscription so no additional cost for subscribers. Haven’t heard if it’ll be available for non-Netflix subscribers yet.

      The Definitive Edition was supposed to come out for iOS and Android in “the first half of 2022”. Hopefully they spent the additional time fixing all 3 games.

        Save for all the other price increases

      I know gamers have a lot to be cynical about, but seeing an announcement that specifically says “without any ads, in-app purchases, or extra fees” and taking that as evidence of the opposite is a bit of a stretch!
