Bowling Ballers is an adorable, endless-runner bowling game, developed by Netflix themselves. This specific game is only available with a Netflix subscription. With the ‘Kawaii’ (cute) aspect to it, they are sure to draw in a young audience. Rather than avoiding obstacles, the players are encouraged to knock items over, which is logical as they are controlling a bowling ball. “Mechanics include skateboarding, flying and more, all with simple, intuitive gameplay.”. As mentioned in the game description, this does seem very unique and has features that many other endless runners do not have. It also seems as though the course changes and becomes increasingly difficult over time, the layout and presentation don’t stay the same.

That’s right folks, between the Minecraft storymodes (psst, we got some cool Minecrafterooneys here), that one Carmen Sandiego special, Bandersnatch and the League of Legends adaptation Arcane (more on that here), Netflix states plans to make games accessible for the App Store and IOS. For a little catch-up, we have some backstory on Netflix’s own recent gaming service for Android users.

There may be some push-back, as tech reporter for Bloomberg Mark Gurman has pointed out the App Store’s primary policy being against letting third-party companies make their own gaming hubs in the store. And don’t even get me started on the Fortnite-Chinese store debacle or the play store legalese that became the impetus for a 1984-style ad on the topic by Epic Games.

Xbox Cloud Gaming, Nvidia GeForce Now, and Google Stadia have also tried (and currently failed) to appeal to Apple, but as of yet, the only way way these services have gotten to work is via Cloud-based gaming services, like how Facebook (possibly soon to be Meta) has a bunch of accessible mini-games of varying quality you can play with friends on Messenger. I like Words with Friends and the basketball hoopy-shooty-woosh-dunkery one.

Gurman has gone on to state that despite Netflix’s games being playable via the in-app login, it can’t be downloaded from the app itself. You’ll have to get it from the app store first, then log into Netflix. For Android games, Netflix’s gaming system functions this way for the Google Play Store.

“Apple will need to change its rules or grant Netflix an exemption” […] “That leaves the ultimate success of Netflix’s service in the hands of Apple, a longtime partner but also a growing rival.” – Mark Gurman

The Funtime Netflix Recommendation Hole: Because I’ve heard many a sad tale from friends of mine complaining they ran out of stuff to watch on Netflix, so here’s some recommendations for anyone using Netflix UK, or anyone who’s international and uses Nord VPN or the like.

1. White Tiger (Netflix Original): A shrewd young man from a poor family uses his wit and intellect to rise to incredible wealth. A darkly funny and emotionally raw exploration of class struggles and inequalities. Think Wolf of Wallstreet but double the wolf (or tiger rather) and half the Wallstreet.
2. Inside Job (Netflix Original): What if every single majorly insane conspiracy theory (besides the Flat-Earther’s) was real and kept under wraps by a corrupt government? Boom! Quirky adult sitcom fun times written and produced by Gravity Falls creators Shion Takeuchi and Alex Hirsch! I especially liked the episode parodying James Bond that also acted as a critique of toxic masculinity and incel culture. For a breakdown on the Incel crowd, have a butcher’s at the video by Contrapoints on the topic.
3. Om Shanti Om: My very first Bollywood experience and a welcomed one! You know how a lot of JoJo fans (myself occasionally included) point to all the weird wacky plot points without context in a non-sequitur jokey way which leads to a “you gotta see it to believe it” method of encouragement? Om Shanti is basically THAT for Bollywood, so I won’t go too in-depth on the plot, but I will say it is a hilarious and beautiful watch alone or with friends. Overcome the one-inch-high barrier that is subtitles and you’re in for a world of fun.

Fans, upset at the lack of anniversary rewards and ongoing silence from miHoYo, take to flooding the Google Play store with negative reviews

Yesterday marked the anniversary for the release of miHoYo’s hit free-to-play gacha game, Genshin Impact.
The day was… anti-climatic, to say the least. I did enjoy the anniversary ‘theatre’ web event, which gives you a rundown of your stats for the year and is complete with some adorable chibi-style art. But when all was said and done, the rewards for the day amounted to a measly few primos and one intertwined fate. It seems like we’re set to be rewarded for a year of dedication with a meagre 10 wishes.

Whales and F2P players alike are pretty ticked off by the situation, and miHoYo’s continued silence and censorship of the complaints has only served to further aggravate the player base. On the official Genshin Discord server, slowmode restrictions have been increased to combat the players spamming an emote of a rather forlorn-looking Qiqi:

Pretty much every tweet on the official Genshin twitter is being bombarded with complaints, and there has been a huge drop in the success of the Like to Dislike ratio on the latest Genshin YouTube video.

Perhaps the most surprising, and amusing, part of all this is the review-bombing on the Google Play store for the Genshin app.

The game had been maintaining a very respectable 4 star rating up until the anniversary debacle. Another game by miHoYo, Honkai Impact, has also been the target of review-bombing as a result of dissatisfaction with miHoYo, and has taken a bit of a dip in its overall ratings.

The genshin impact anniversary is a disaster lmao

Players’ irritation only grew when miHoYo launched an expensive #hashflag marketing campaign on Twitter

If you don’t know what hashflags are, they’re a Twitter campaign that allows for a small emote to appear next to a hashtag, and we can only estimate that they cost a pretty penny.

As cute as these hashtags are (#littlewolfie for Razor?! #bennysadventureteam!!? So cute!!) they do seem to be a bit of an egregious waste of money. Many fans are questioning how miHoYo has the money to spare for this expensive campaign, but can’t spare us some primos for the anniversary.

I do understand the frustration, but I find it really hard to stay angry at this campaign when I can add little Benny emotes to my tweets now.

He’s just too adorable. MiHoYo control my one weakness, unfortunately.

In all seriousness, it’s pretty sad that after so much success and acclaim, miHoYo would mess up the anniversary so spectacularly. This probably won’t affect them in the long run, as Genshin is geared to it’s mostly casual player base. But the hardcore fans, the content creators, the people who created the buzz that let Genshin rocket to success, will always have a sour memory of the first anniversary of the game they have poured so much heart into supporting.

It’s not about the money or the primos – it’s about appreciation. The rewards didn’t even have to be primos; some new skins, a special rerun, or a free selectable 4 star would have brightened up the day a bit. Instead, I’m left with a vague sense of disappointment.

Happy anniversary, Genshiners.
