American streaming giant Netflix’s plans for the gaming space may not change the platform the way many expected. A job listing on the company’s website suggests that though the company’s new “Interactive" department is meant to add to products it already offers, rather than creating a whole new subscription tier. The company hired gaming veteran Mike Verdu earlier this month, prompting many to speculate for a whole new game streaming service built into Netflix. The job listing says the person will help “create new types of stories and new product experiences". While that doesn’t negate gaming completely, it definitely doesn’t sound like Netflix wants to add the newest games to its platform, like Google’s Stadia.
