Are you talking about their shows sometimes costing $7M an episode? Do you know which ones besides House of Cards and The Crown?
- nimos 9y agoSense8, The Get Down, Marco Polo. They are planning on spending 8 billion on content this year. Lets say they spend 10 million on a couple puzzle/king/angry bird style games. That's .125% of their content creation budget.
- whatok 9y agoAll three of those examples have been canceled.
- mburns 9y agoSense8 was comparably expensive but has since been canceled.
- mrexroad 9y agoBummed about that. Enjoyed the premise. However, definitely not cheap to shoot on location across 5 continents (although i very much enjoyed the detail and contrast it provided)
- IkmoIkmo 9y agoWell, don't forget it's not just their own shows. It's been said Netflix's license payment is responsible for financing the $7m budget of Star Trek Discovery. Again, not their own show, but that's irrelevant for the point the parent is making (Netflix hasn't branched out into other content types and spends $7m per episode on video, but won't spend a similar amount on games). That having been said, I don't really see the point for Netflix to pursue some kind of mini-steam play. Not a core competency and all...
