Search engine giant Google is apparently looking to get even further into the gaming market, according to a job listing on its corporate site. The prospective employee would serve as a Product Manager for Games at Google, and “design strategies for game distribution and discovery, player identity, game mechanics, and more” as well as “initiate and prioritize projects within engineering, assist in determining the best technical implementation methods, track product development, and develop product launch plans.”
Unfortunately, there’s not much to go on so far — the listing does refer to a “gaming platform” at Google, as well as “developer relations,” so in between the lines here there’s the idea of some service that would involve other developers in some way. But whether that means games actually developed and released by Google or just a portal to games online, we’ll have to wait and see.
