Netflix is letting go of some of its best indie games
If you've been enjoying Hades on mobile via Netflix, you better get in those last few runs while you still can. First spotted by Engadget, and confirmed via the Netflix app, Supergiant's Greek mythology inspired roguelike and 21 other games are being delisted from the service next month. Several titles like Braid, Katana Zero, and yes, Hades, were available exclusively on mobile via Netflix, meaning that when those games go, that's potentially it for them on Android / iOS. Here's a full list of the games leaving Netflix next month. Most games depart the service July 14th, but Hades goes a little earlier on July 1st. (Carmen Sandiego, however, doesn't have a confirmed date for delisting, only that it's 'leaving soon.')The Verge has reached out to the developers of the games that had their mobile versions available exclusively via Netflix to ask if they had plans to distribute them as premium titles. In an email, Nigel Lowrie, a spokesperson for Devolver Digital, wrote, 'We are looking at bringing games that leave services like Poinpy, Katana Zero, and Death's Door to mobile stores as premium titles.' He also said that the developer for each of these games has its own timeline for when that will happen but Devolver is working to get them up on mobile storefronts 'as soon as possible.' Devolver Digital has some experience with this as Exit the Gungeon, which had a mobile version available exclusively via Apple Arcade, will become a paid game on iOS and Android after it was delisted from Apple's gaming subscription service last year. In the Discord server for Color Gray Games, the developers of the Golden Idol series, Andrejs Klavins, the games' lead designer and programmer, wrote, 'This is all recent news for us and all the practical implications have yet to be worked out.' The statement suggests that some developers were only recently told their games would be leaving the platform and not something that was necessarily pre-planned. This removal of third-party games, many of which had decent, mainstream success outside of Netflix, reflects the platform's shifting games strategy. It has halted its acquisition spree and, in October of last year, Netflix closed the new studio it spun up to produce a multiplatform AAA game before it could release anything. In an interview with The Verge at the Game Developers Conference in March, Netflix's new president of games Alain Tascan said, 'we need to find our voice.' Netflix plans on streamlining its offerings to focus more on games that are tied to Netflix-owned shows, multiplayer party games, games for kids, and 'mainstream' titles that have their own large fanbases. And when you look at the numbers, that strategy makes sense. According to data from Appfigures, a mobile analytics company, the most popular game on Netflix is – coming at no surprise – Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas with an estimated 37 million downloads. The next most popular, though it has less than half the downloads of San Andreas, is Squid Game: Unleashed, a tie-in game for the Netflix-produced Korean social thriller Squid Game. Those two games aren't going anywhere for now. But if you're a fan of any of the games above, they will be leaving soon so try them while you can.

Bobby Sherman, Easygoing Teen Idol of the 1960s and '70s, Dies at 81
Bobby Sherman, an actor and singer who became an easygoing pop-music star and teen idol in the late 1960s, and who continued performing until well into the 1980s, has died. He was 81. His wife, Brigitte Poublon, announced his death on Tuesday morning on Instagram, providing no other details. She revealed in March that Mr. Sherman had been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, though she did not specify the type of cancer. Mr. Sherman was 25 when he was cast in the comedy western that made him a star. On 'Here Come the Brides,' a one-hour ABC series, he played a bashful 19th-century Seattle lumberjack. George Gent, reviewing the show for The New York Times, declared Mr. Sherman 'winning as the shy and stuttering youngest brother,' although he predicted only that the show 'should be fun.' 'Here Come the Brides' ran for only two seasons (1968-70), but that was more than long enough for Mr. Sherman to attract a following: He was said to be receiving 25,000 pieces of fan mail every week. He had already become a successful recording artist, beginning with 'Little Woman,' which reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1969 and proved to be his biggest hit. He went on to score three other Top 10 singles in 1969 and 1970: 'La La La (If I Had You),' 'Easy Come, Easy Go' and 'Julie, Do Ya Love Me.' By the end of 1972 he had seven gold singles, one platinum single and 10 gold albums. When TV Guide in 2005 ranked the 25 greatest teen idols, Mr. Sherman took the No. 8 spot, ahead of Davy Jones and Troy Donahue. (David Cassidy was No. 1.) He appeared countless times on the cover of Tiger Beat, a popular magazine for adolescent girls. Even Marge Simpson, leading lady of the long-running animated series 'The Simpsons,' had a crush on Bobby Sherman, as she confessed to her daughter Lisa in one episode. Want all of The Times?
