Netflix cans its plans to offer game rentals by mail
Netflix has abandoned its plans to offer game rentals alongside its other offerings, thus ending the Qwikster experiment it started in September last year. After an outpiring of pulic outcry over the firm’s DVD service being switched over to Quikster, the firm culled its DVD plans but was still contemplating using the service for game rentals. The news was confirmed to investors earlier this week by Netflix CEO and co-founder Reed Hastings. Thanks, G4.

Netflix kills Qwikster, reverts to single strategy
Netflix said today that it’s decided to keep its DVD-by-mail and online streaming services together under one name and one website, abandoning plans to launch Qwikster as a DVD rental division. The company told the New York Times it acted too rashly in announcing the move. Its plans for games rentals are yet to be determined; they were to be included in Qwikster.

Netflix splits in half – DVD service Qwikster also to include games
By now, you’re probably aware that Netflix is dead. What we once associated with the name is, anyway. The company’s DVD-by-mail business has been split off, renamed “Qwikster”, and plans to take the world by storm in “a few weeks”. Oh, and it’ll ship video games to you, too.
In the hours since the announcement, I don’t think CEO Reed Hastings has gotten the response he was predicting.
