- lucideer 6y agoSo, firstly: there are two articles. The linked HN article, and the original Netflix blogpost (which is not linked here on HN, but is linked by The Register). From the Netflix blogpost, it seems you are correct. The author of The Register article seems to have misinterpreted and is definitely discussing a prospective public offering. -- The 2nd sentence you quoted implies that people working on Netflix titles will use it, but does not imply exclusivity. The 1st sentence I don't really understand what you're reading from it... sounds like a public offering to me. In addition to those sentences, The Register article is chock full of direct references to it being a public offering, not an internal vendor offering. Perhaps dang or another mod can change to the source article which is less misleading: https://netflixtechblog.com/empowering-the-visual-effects-community-with-the-netfx-platform-35fdf604909c https://netflixtechblog.com/empowering-the-visual-effects-co...
