“Gaming is the most dynamic and exciting category in entertainment across all platforms today and will play a key role in the development of metaverse platforms,” said Satya Nadella, chairman and CEO, Microsoft.
With three billion people actively playing games today and fueled by a new generation steeped in the joys of interactive entertainment, gaming is now the largest and fastest-growing form of entertainment. Today, Microsoft Corp. announced plans to acquire Activision Blizzard Inc., a leader in game development and interactive entertainment content publisher. This acquisition will accelerate the growth in Microsoft’s gaming business across mobile, PC, console and cloud and will provide building blocks for the metaverse.
Just going through todays news brings up a bunch of mentions of THE METaVERSE as if it were something we should all be familiar with and know what it means. This is straight from Nutella and Bobby K too. I thought it was weird when Zuckerberg was talking about it a few months ago but now it seems like it will actually manifest when the CEO of microsoft is talking about it in the same breath as spending 70billion dollars. I am on gaming sites every day and have never seen someone coherently explain what the metaverse even is.
Feels like gaming is entering a golden era of cringe with NFTs and the metaverse.
