Netflix abandons Qwikster; keeping services together under one name.
A lot of the reasoning behind this is because their stocks started crashing and again they had an uproar about changing their services. However, they didn't really lose anyone over it yet. So, they decided to just leave things be, and also stated that there will be no more crazy price changes ahead, because they want to start respecting their customers.
So, to all, Netflix is still Netflix, and Qwikster has disappeared.

UPDATE!
Here's what the official e-mail says:
Dear Natalie, It is clear that for many of our members two websites would make things more difficult, so we are going to keep Netflix as one place to go for streaming and DVDs. This means no change: one website, one account, one password…in other words, no Qwikster. While the July price change was necessary, we are now done with price changes. We're constantly improving our streaming selection. We've recently added hundreds of movies from Paramount, Sony, Universal, Fox, Warner Bros., Lionsgate, MGM and Miramax. Plus, in the last couple of weeks alone, we've added over 3,500 TV episodes from ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS, USA, E!, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, ABC Family, Discovery Channel, TLC, SyFy, A&E, History, and PBS. We value you as a member, and we are committed to making Netflix the best place to get your movies & TV shows. Respectfully, The Netflix Team |
