Netflix's President of Games, Alain Tascan, is expecting a future generation that relies less on gaming consoles as major players like Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo push forward with new hardware.
On the one hand, I agree that consoles get less relevant and important with each new generation. On the other hand, Netflix gaming isn’t what kids care about.
Most kids I know play Roblox, minecraft and fortnite on underpowered PCs.
They don’t care about the new GPU launches either because even average home PCs play these games.
Yeah my 15yo son is running an early i7 with DDR3 and a 1660ti at 1080/60 and he plays Roblox and chats with his friends on Discord, watches YouTube. He doesn’t care about upgrades at all and never spends money or buys games or anything.

That’s really cool that he’s happy with what he’s got. Something that us adults should really learn from.
