I was excited, until the last three words. A Hades Series would have been really nice.
You can already play Hades on mobile using switch emulation
- Or remote play
I'm no joke considering buy an iphone, becauseso many console games coming to the platform
- Probably cheaper to just buy the console
Taking games that already exist and locking them behind their subscription. They already did it to Into the Breach. Time to boycott the the makers of these games for making shitty deals (Supergiant Games, Devolver Digital, Subset Games).
- Subset Games is two people. The game has been available on Windows, Mac, and Linux for five years, during which they gave away a significant expansion for free. You're not punching up by calling for a boycott against EA or Activision here, these are indie developers and this is presumably their livelihood.
  
  Instead, they are asking all who want to play on mobile to add a Netflix subscription. What?
- The games already exist, but not on mobile. I'd agree if they were available on mobile already and then went behind a paywall subscription. If the games would never exist on mobile if Netflix wasn't paying for them to be there, then I don't mind as much
  
  I hear what you are saying. I thought a little about that myself, if they are paying to get them onto the platform. But that's just it. I don't know about ios, but it's Android that Into the Breach is on. That's the platform. Netflix is no gaming platform. Why didn't these studios bring their games directly to Android? I say fault them.
- The games are native on mobile. You need a sub but they aren't streaming
- What's great is you can find cracked versions. I played ITB on my phone and I don't have a Netflix account
