Google Eyeballing Games

An anonymous reader tips news of a Google job listing indicating the company's interest in building a gaming division. "The broad job posting requires someone to lead the new venture from designing the user experience, working on partnerships with developers and working with the gaming community." According to the posting, they are "looking for a strategic, technical and game-loving Product Manager to drive Google's gaming strategy. You will design strategies for game distribution and discovery, player identity, game mechanics, and more."

Pick me!

My Predictions:
- a Google Gaming Toolkit for making games on their platform.
- host your games on their infrastructure just like they do with Google App Engine.
- social networking built into games linked via Buzz, Wave, and your Google account.
- Profit!
