From CNET: Google's remaking of its business has only just begun.
The search giant is spinning out game-maker Niantic Labs from its company, according to a statement from the company on Wednesday. The company said it plans to expand who it builds the game for as an independent company, without giving much other detail.
Niantic makes Ingress, a game that involves players going to various real world landmarks -- like a public sculpture or a sign -- and "capturing" it for their team by using various commands on their smartphones.
The split comes only days after Google announced a major restructuring that creates more division between its core products and peripheral projects -- like games or driverless cars.
