Netflix has cancelled six games as part of plans to "adjust [its] portfolio" in response to "what our members like".

If Netflix cared about what members like, the games wouldn't be there in the first place.
- And the content I want to watch (and used to watch) would be.
- They had me for a hot second because I saw Into The Breach on the app store 🤩
  
  But you can't even run the game without logging in to a Netflix account 🤮
  
  I mean I had one, but fuck that noise I'm not cosigning on that bullshit 😤
  
  If you have an iPad, FTL is on there! Works pretty well, one-time purchase with no bullshit. Only log-in is optional Game Center connectivity.
- Say what you will, and I agree, but Civ VI on the phone is awesome. And since I'm paying for the subscription anyways it's kinda nice
  
  I agree civ6 is awesome on a phone.
  
  However, if you own the game on Steam, you could have been playing it on your phone long before Netflix ever opened their games division with Steam Link.
  
  Civ6 is literally the only game I actually use Steam Link for (it's the only game that plays nice with the touch controls and isn't affected by any lag because it's turn-based anyway).
  
  I just want Monument 3. I bought the first two but since 3 is tied to Netflix, I can't do that.
Netflix is so great at cancelling it's content now, they've figured out how to cancel things before they even release! Efficient!
Taxbreaks?
Patiently waiting for the Netflix exclusivity to end on Monument Valley 3.

Don't like the subscription-only aspect of accessing games, though I will say they have a good catalog.
