Netflix Gaming Boss Wants To Lower "Friction" And Bypass "Expensive" Consoles
Briefly

Alain Tascan, Netflix Gaming's head, envisions a future where gaming is more accessible, akin to the Wii's impact on casual gaming. He identifies existing frustrations such as the need for multiple controllers and expensive consoles. Netflix aims to leverage cloud gaming to mitigate these issues while creating party games meant for quick engagement. Tascan emphasizes innovation with mobile devices serving as controllers, suggesting they hold potential for diverse gameplay experiences. His goal is to expand gaming audiences beyond traditional markets, aiming for broader access and simpler game formats.
One of my ambitions was lowering friction and eliminating it. I was a big fan of the Wii because it appealed to a wide audience.
For party games, I believe we can give instant fun, using the phone controller as a very innovative controller. Can we do something really engaging?
Mobile gaming opened up to 3.2--3.3 billion players. I believe we can reach a larger number of players without needing overly complicated RPG-style games.
