Forbes believes Google could take a crack at game publishing
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
What hasn’t Google done these days? They have their own email service, immensely popular search engine, translator, and much, much more. Google might be expanding their territory even more as the future approaches by publishing games. As 1UP points out, Google is full of money and could easily buy out any number of casual game developers. Google continues to change its approach as can be seen with the release of their own Internet browser, Google Chrome. The only question is, will Google have the guts to take a step into the gaming industry?
