Netflix is removing much of its interactive content

Netflix is removing a whole lot of its interactive content. Some titles, like Bandersnatch, survived and will continue on via the platform.

Incidentally, Puss in Book: Trapped in an Epic Tale was the very first Netflix special to feature this interactive technology, which was a couple of years before Black Mirror: Bandersnatch wowed the world. Company spokesperson Chrissy Kelleher told The Verge that the feature “served its purpose, but is now limiting as we focus on technological efforts in other areas.” Former Netflix gaming honcho Mike Verdu also told Game File’s Stephen Totilo that it wasn’t making any more of these interactive titles. Despite putting the kibosh on streaming content with gamified elements, the platform’s still dipping its toes into gaming itself.
