I cannot imagine a customer base that's so ecstatic with Netflix's service that they're willing to give the company even more money by buying overpriced ultra-processed meals and branded coffee cups. Why people continue to sell their souls and open their wallets to these companies is beyond me.
If they sell cosplay customes based on popular shows, you know people will be queuing up to throw money at those made-in-china products.
Having the rights to ship out the offical crap could be a gold mine for them.
Just take Squid Game. It's a regular training suit and they already exist as costumes and they're easy to copy, but you can't find the real one because of all the copies.
Same idea as the Universal Studios parks. Just without the park, because the income is all in the souvenir shop anyway.
