Despite interactive shows initially capturing the imaginations of viewers with immersive storytelling, Netflix appears to be re-evaluating their place on the platform. https://youtu.be/VNw9DAwp2Kk The streaming giant’s decision may come as a disappointment to fans of the genre. Yet, Netflix Games remains a promising part of the platform. However, Netflix has reiterated its dedication to games, and while the interactive experiment may be over, fans can still enjoy a growing catalog of games that has already brought award-winning experiences to the platform. Google has announced at the Game Developers Conference (GDC 2019) a new video game platform called Stadia that allows users to stream and play games on any device that supports the Chromecast protocol. The platform is based on Linux, uses Google's data center infrastructure to make it work with other Google services like YouTube, and runs on custom AMD hardware with a custom 2.7GHz x86 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a custom GPU with HBM2 memory that can produce about 10.7 teraflops of power. Since this is a new platform, games will have to be ported. Google is also creating its own game studio called Stadia Games and Entertainment for titles exclusive for the platform.
