TL;DR


Summary:
- Netflix's vice president of game development, Mike Verdu, is leaving the company to join Meta (formerly Facebook) as the new head of virtual reality and augmented reality content.
- Verdu's departure comes as Netflix has struggled to gain traction in the video game market, with its game offerings failing to attract a significant number of subscribers.
- The move to Meta suggests that Verdu sees more opportunities in the virtual and augmented reality space, which Meta is heavily invested in as part of its broader "metaverse" ambitions.
