Remembering how Subset Games is notoriously anti-mobile I looked into it. Turns out, as usual, they did not intend to release a mobile port, just like with FTL. They have an FTL iPad port, but refused to release an Android port due to piracy concerns, claiming it wasn’t worth the effort to bother with the port. But Netflix approached them and sponsored the mobile ports for Into the Breach. In other words, if not for Netflix, the game would not have been playable on mobile at all. This likely applies to all the other Netflix exclusive games, they don’t buy licenses, they sponsor the ports.

And even if they were just buying licenses and making games available only through Netflix, then go complain to the game devs, not Netflix. Devs are the ones who agreed to it when they were offered money.

Never used Prime, so can’t comment.

Hmm, didn’t know that one was exclusive to Netflix. It’s not a universal thing or a rule, cause San Andreas Definitive Edition, for example, is available for purchase for $20. Probably depends on what the game publisher agreed to.

I think you’re looking at it the wrong way. It’s just an extra that you have for “free”, not a dedicated gaming subscription. I also live in Europe and my Netflix is cheap, so I will have the subscription by default (cause a lot of people in my family watch it), which means I get to try the games for free. You can always just go buy them if you want, from the store.

Yeah, I agree in general, IP milking is pretty bad right now (always been bad, but gotten even worse), but Nintendo is an exception. If they release a game at all, it at least has some merit to justify its existence. Except of course, Pokemon…

I’m not sure if I’m missing sarcasm here, but Super Mario Bros. Wonder is freaking amazing. There’s so much creativity packed into that game, that almost every level they introduce a new mechanic that could easily be it’s whole entire game.

Thank you, that makes everything more clear. Please lead with that next time.

Noted. I will not.

Are smoke grenades multi-use?

At this point, IDK if you’re just trolling. But in case you’re not:

The post shows a map, on which countries that shipped mines to IKEA are colored in red, specifically Poland. But the map is cropped, and as the result New Zealand (it’s a country that is too the east of Australia) cropped out and not visible.

The joke implies that New Zealand could also have shipped mines to IKEA. Since it’s hypothetically possible that New Zealand is also colored red (like Poland), due to it being cropped out (not visible on the map), we can’t be sure that it didn’t ship mines to IKEA.

New Zealand could also be in red, but since it’s cropped out we can’t know for sure.

Yeah, should be 0.(6).

That can’t be it, cause then that’s all 4/4 horsemen of 3/4 present.

Why is everybody posting my cat today?!

For comparison:

The only reason I know that this is not my cat is because mine has a birthmark on the tip of the nose. And whiter belly.

The only reason I know the contents of most classic literature is because of “So You Haven’t Read” series on YouTube.

I see. Looks to me that they just rebrand cheap Chinese phones and sell them in Russian-speaking countries. I doubt they offer anything extra compared to the phones they rebrand, except maybe Russian translation for the UI.

Could you link, please?
