I've never heard the term itself, but is it referring to having more muscle mass due to higher levels of testosterone in men?

Remembering how Subset Games is notoriously anti-mobile I looked into it. Turns out, as usual, they did not intend to release a mobile port, just like with FTL. They have an FTL iPad port, but refused to release an Android port due to piracy concerns, claiming it wasn't worth the effort to bother with the port. But Netflix approached them and sponsored the mobile ports for Into the Breach. In other words, if not for Netflix, the game would not have been playable on mobile at all. This likely applies to all the other Netflix exclusive games, they don't buy licenses, they sponsor the ports.

And even if they were just buying licenses and making games available only through Netflix, then go complain to the game devs, not Netflix. Devs are the ones who agreed to it when they were offered money.

Never used Prime, so can't comment.

Hmm, didn't know that one was exclusive to Netflix. It's not a universal thing or a rule, cause San Andreas Definitive Edition, for example, is available for purchase for $20. Probably depends on what the game publisher agreed to.

I think you're looking at it the wrong way. It's just an extra that you have for "free", not a dedicated gaming subscription. I also live in Europe and my Netflix is cheap, so I will have the subscription by default (cause a lot of people in my family watch it), which means I get to try the games for free. You can always just go buy them if you want, from the store.

I only put it there because I personally am not very familiar with PoE.

Oh, right. Yeah, I saw that video, he (allegedly) didn't know the basics of map navigation and wouldn't pickup good drops.

Yeah, I agree in general, IP milking is pretty bad right now (always been bad, but gotten even worse), but Nintendo is an exception. If they release a game at all, it at least has some merit to justify its existence. Except of course, Pokemon...

What's PoE? Other than Power over Ethernet, of course.

I'm not sure if I'm missing sarcasm here, but Super Mario Bros. Wonder is freaking amazing. There's so much creativity packed into that game, that almost every level they introduce a new mechanic that could easily be it's whole entire game.

Thank you very much!

Can't say I'm not glad this happened. 196 was the only community I was banned from (permanently) and thus couldn't vote or comment on good chunk of top posts.
