Looks like the day has come. We have been wondering when Netflix will take action on password sharing after several delays. According to Netflix, sharing your account with someone who doesn't live with you costs $7.99/month (~RM36). For the Malaysian market, it will officially be RM13/month. 

In case you didn't know - yes, Netflix Games is a thing for mobile users who are subscribed to Netflix. That said, the company may be working on something to allow you to play Netflix Games on your TV with your iPhone as a controller, according to Bloomberg.

With all the news about Netflix trying to get rid of password-sharing among Netflix freeloaders, we just got the surprise news of the newly announced price slash for one of the plans. If you're using Netflix Basic, you're in luck because it's now RM28 per month.

If you follow Netflix, you would have heard about its intention of cracking down on password sharing since last year. While there isn't any official statement on how the company plans to do so, here's what we know about it so far.

Video streaming giant Netflix has confirmed that it will begin cracking down on password sharing by the end of the first quarter of this year. The company revealed the matter in a recent shareholder letter announcing its Q4 2022 results.

In case you didn’t know, Netflix Games is a venture that the popular video streaming company expanded into since November 2021 which is a service that provides mobile games to Netflix subscribers for free. Well, the latest original title that Netflix Games recently released is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge which is a game worth checking out. 

After years of dominance, it looks like Netflix’s tight hold over the streaming service market is beginning to loosen after it was dethroned by Amazon Prime Video as the number one subscription streaming outlet in the United States (US). This is according to the latest annual ranking compiled by research firm Parks Associates.

Popular video-streaming service platform Netflix is reportedly in the midst of testing a new practice for its original series and movies to improve their quality and reception among the public. Accordingly, Netflix will be previewing its video content in advance to selected subscribers to gauge their reception as well as to gain feedback for improvements.

Previously, we reported that Netflix is forming an in-house game studio to create ‘world-class’ original game titles and now, we may know more about this plan. In recent job listings, the video streaming company alluded that it is planning to develop a triple-A PC game.

Netflix can't kick out the ones sharing your account, so it's giving you the power to do it (though there's no need for it if you're willingly sharing yours). The video streaming platform has introduced a new feature that allows users to easily kick someone off their accounts, along with showing some details regarding the access.
