Google Sets Its Sights On Gaming, Hires Noah Falstein As Chief Game Designer

Posted by timothy on from the searching-for-waldo-carmen-san-diego-etc dept.

MojoKid writes "Google has its hands in every other aspect of the tech industry, so why not gaming, too? It appears as though the company is eyeing a run at the gaming market by hiring Noah Falstein as its 'Chief Game Designer.' Falstein's LinkedIn profile has been updated to reflect his new title, which is the latest in a long career. He started out in 1980 and put in time at (the recently-defunct) Lucasfilm Games as well as 3DO and Dreamworks Interactive."

    I'm guessing it's because when it comes to Android vs. iOS, the differences between them are not compelling enough to pull the talent away from one company and towards the other.

    Having worked with both the Android and iPhone source code, I can tell you, if I worked at Apple, I would never leave to work on Android, either.
