The only way it's going to ever work is if games are designed around the required latency. Nobody does that.

All the companies are technology companies looking to stream twitch-based titles, because 8-9 figures was spent on marketing. Netflix, as an entertainment company, could scout and finance other niche types of games such as Visual Novels. The Visual Novel database lists over 30,000 titles some of which could be suited to a Black Mirror: Bandersnatch-style adaptation, instead of the usually anime adaptation.

Undoubtedly puzzle or graphic adventure (Myst) games will be an area of interest too. And bundling games with the service avoids decision fatigue of purchasing on other platforms (Google Stadia, PlayStation Now).
