Netflix is \u200b\u200bseriously considering its own cloud gaming platform, the company’s VP of games Mike Verdu said at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference on Tuesday (via Protocol<\/em>). Netflix jumped into gaming in a big way last year with its mobile games lineup, but the company is apparently looking to use its overall expertise in streaming data to let people play games over the cloud. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe’re very seriously exploring a cloud gaming offering so that we can reach members on TVs and on PCs,\u201d Verdu said. \u201cWe’re going to approach this the same way we did with mobile, which is start small, be humble, be thoughtful, and then build out. But it is a step we think we should take to meet members where they are on the devices where they consume Netflix.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
