Netflix and its Offers

Netflix brought many video game adaptations from the consoles and PCs to the television screens or phones to stream for users' entertainment. One of the most notable games to series adaptation is the story of Geralt of Rivia from CD Projekt Red's "The Witcher" that already released its Season 2, waiting for next year's release.

Another game to video release from Netflix is the famous "Arcane" that focuses on the "League of Legends" multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game from Riot Games. The show received massive praises from fans and critics, and it includes both the storytelling, plot, and its adaptation of the characters Jinx and Vi from Zaun.

However, it seems that Netflix wants you to 'toss a coin' to your streaming provider, especially now that there are price hikes that require more for the subscriber. It may be worth it for the upcoming "Resident Evil" series that would focus on a time skip from the original plot of the game, focusing on other characters and not with the Redfields and Ethan Winters.
