Over the past few months, the wildest rumors in video game industry circles havent involved the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Two. The most interesting chatter has centered on a tech company thats been quietly making moves to tackle video games in a big way: Google, the conglomerate that operates our email, our internet browsers, and much more.
We havent heard many specifics about Googles video game plans, but what we have heard is that its a three-pronged approach: 1) Some sort of streaming platform, 2) some sort of hardware, and 3) an attempt to bring game developers under the Google umbrella, whether through aggressive recruiting or even major acquisitions. Thats the word from five people who have either been briefed on Googles plans or heard about them secondhand.
