Netflix has hired Mike Verdu as its new vice president of game development, signaling that it plans to add a service for playing video games along with its film and television streaming.
Verdu is joining Netflix from Facebook's Oculus, where he was in charge of game development. Before Oculus, he worked at video game companies Electronic Arts and Zynga.
Netflix added 37 million subscribers last year — the largest one-year increase in its history — largely due to COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions. However, the company had a slow start to 2021, with its smallest first-quarter subscriber increase in four years.
As life returns to normal in many places, offering video games would give Netflix another way to continue adding to its nearly 208 million subscribers.
And it wouldn't come as much as a surprise either, as Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has previously said the company competes as much against video games for people's leisure time as it does against other streaming services.
Greg Peters, Netflix's chief operating officer, also said in April that video games could be another way to engage subscribers already following the stories on the service's TV series and movies.
It is not known if users will have to pay for games separately, or if Netflix will include them as part of its video streaming service.

🌏Summary
Netflix去年新增3,700萬名訂閱用戶——其史上增加人數最多的一年——主要是因為新冠病毒封城和限制的關係。 不過，該公司在2021年起步緩慢，第一季增加的訂閱人數是四年來最少的一次。
隨著許多地方的生活回歸正常，提供電玩服務將會是Netflix讓將近2.08億訂閱用戶人數持續增加的另種方法。
