Tällä hetkellä maailman eräs suosituin sana teknologian saralla tuntuu olevan "metaverse". Se ei kuitenkaan tunnu merkitsevän oikein mitään ainakaan tällä hetkellä.
Juuri tämän epämääräisyyden vuoksi Take-Two'n toimitusjohtaja Strauss Zelnick on sitä mieltä, ettei yhtiöiden kannattaisi toistaiseksi liikoja sijoittaa moiseen. Asiasta kertoi Games Industry.
Saapa nähdä, mitä metaversesta lopulta muodostuu.
"I'm always sceptical about buzzwords because they mean different things to different people, and people investing behind buzzwords probably don't end up having great results. I'm not sceptical at all about huge, interactive, dynamic, entertaining worlds because our company is responsible for housing, minimally, three of them. The biggest on Earth, Grand Theft Auto Online, and Red Dead Redemption Online and then NBA 2K online, and others to come.
"So I'm a dyed-in-the-wool believer that people will go to digital worlds to be entertained, and if you offer a super entertaining experience I think people will flock to it. I think where my scepticism lies is every company suddenly believing that by saying the word 'metaverse' adjacent to their company's business strategy, that means that somehow they'll be transformed and nirvana is around the corner, and naturally that's not the case."
