Why is Netflix's video game boss leaving his role? And why is Netflix in video games?

• Netflix is replacing Mike Verdu, the executive in charge of its games business.
• Netflix launched its games division in 2021, aiming to replicate Apple's Apple Arcade.
• The gaming strategy's success is unclear, and internal debates over monetization persist.

Netflix owns streaming. Video games is another story. The company launched a games division in 2021, but so far, its strategy has been puzzling, and the results don't appear to be overwhelming.
