Sega considering Netflix-like game subscription service

Netflix is an interesting comparison.
Old Netflix where it was an affordable deal for a lot of entertainment?
Or the more expensive modern Netflix that I cancelled because they created payment tiers where you pay to be advertised to?

Yes, because Stadia did so well.

It would've been fine... If Google had stuck to it and marketed it, it would've worked out. I'm convinced interest rate hikes are what actually killed Stadia.
Also it wasn't even Netflix like... You're right about one thing though, part of the reason stadia didn't do well is 90% of gamers think it was some laggy Netflix for games thing.

I say that as someone who has a Stadia controller. I completed one story playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 and I only had two or three times where I had to reset because of a bug. And I agree. It wasn't marketed well at all and on paper it should have worked. Monthly subscription and try out the latest games even if you don't have the PC specs or latest console to run it. Or you can out right purchase a game and it's tied to your Google/Stadia account.

Stadia was never gonna do well lmao

Gamepass serms to be doing okay, which imo is more analguous. Gamepass for just one companies games probably won't though, even if Sega does have a pretty good library.

With what games? Sega doesn't have the catalogue to demand a subscription.

Wait, so they are bringing back the Sega channel?

"Again".
I used to have a Sega Channel as a kid. It was this big clunky cartridge with its own power supply and internet connection that downloaded Sega Genesis games. It was incredible.
The Internet was not part of the system
While doing some research on Sega Channel (I was a SNES kid) I found this article which has a lot of cool info.
I knew a kid who had the Sega channel thing, it was amazing to watch.
