Netflix might be regretting not buying out Twitch.

I can see Netflix releasing "Netflix Original Games" or will they move more into game streaming first by paying famous gamers to stream exclusively on their platform, on that front will Netflix move into user-created content like YouTube?

I'm not certain it would be a good move. Its one thing to deal with a limited number of in-show-business creators that give you files to put on your CDN, but quite another to deal with many, many random approach creators who stream content with an unknown quality or controversial nature. It is a non-trivial expansion of their infrastructure.

They can still distribute games.
