It seems like the folks over at Netflix had a change of heart when it comes to Qwikster. As you may of known, Qwikster was going to be the other company that would take care of the DVD’s & Blu-Ray shipments to former users of Netflix. This made Netflix only for instant streaming. There was very negative fan reaction towards this and it seemed like Quickster was not accepted by the Netflix community.
In his own word Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix had this to say:
“Consumers value the simplicity Netflix has always offered and we respect that. There is a difference between moving quickly — which Netflix has done very well for years — and moving too fast, which is what we did in this case.”
Let’s hope that they keep the idea of providing games in their rental service as that would be awesome and might bring the price of game rentals down. If you are a Netflix subscriber you probably received an email from them telling you about this.
