Netflix scuttles plans to add six previously announced games to its service

Netflix is continuing to adjusting its gaming strategy. Its latest measure was to cancel plans to release six games on its service.

As first reported by What's On Netflix, the company will no longer bring Thirsty Suitors, Compass Point: West and Tales of the Shire: A Lord of the Rings Game to its library. A Netflix spokesperson confirmed the decision to Engadget, noting that nixing the planned additions was "just a natural part of adjusting our portfolio as we learn more about what our members like." Meanwhile, Leanne Loombe — an executive who helped bring the likes of Hades and Grand Theft Auto to Netflix's library while leading second- and third-party development and publishing efforts — recently became the head of games at Annapurna Interactive following an exodus there.
