Kotaku: While I busy myself playing games like The Grinns Tale and the newly-released CityVille 2, the rest of Facebook mills about the old familiar haunts, munching on candy and clicking up exotic cuisine.
This list is quickly growing stale, with the same games as last week appearing this week, only in slightly different order. It astounds me how many amazing gaming experiences there are on the social network, yet this is what everyone is hooked on. Diversify, people!
Meta has invested billions of dollars to bring you their latest creation – a Godzilla footprint in the 'Wendyverse'
I can't even understand a lot of what the characters are saying. Are they high?
I don’t understand what’s wrong with them. Seems like an AI reading lines and stuttering at the same time.
Basically people that can't act given direction to make something up on the spot. Kind of exactly the feeling of metaverse as a whole.
Couldn’t sit through all that. We really need to find a way to separate gamers from meta folks. The average Joe would believe they are all just gamers. I cannot be lumped together with people that engage in this foolery.
TF is this? No, wait. In fact, this is the best publicity for Metaverse. Tell people this is what they can expect. That'll get people buying headset in a second.
Quest 2 and future Meta headsets will no longer require a Facebook account from next month.
that's a nice change. Keep things like that optional for those who wish to utilize it.
It should have never been mandatory to start with.
They're only doing this because their "metaverse" is desperately in need of people to use it. If they somehow manage to get enough people on board, they'll make it mandatory again. You can quote me on that one.
The quest and the metaverse are two different things. Nobody said quest was struggling. I said the metaverse is.
With the quests current sales numbers they are still getting little to no interest in their metaverse. Them cutting the facebook mandatory barrier is literally them trying desperately to get players into that failing, nft rife virtual world they're trying to push so hard
I think they were banking on VR having more social integration outside of just games but that didn't seem to happen. People are happy to play games in VR or watch movies. People don't want to shop or conduct meetings and stuff in VR like they originally planned for.
Until VR becomes essentially a pair of sunglasses the general public won't touch it. Especially for anything outside of gaming. It's far too goofy looking for professional environments.
metaverse is a key word like the cloud, a handful of apps not one particular experience. its not failing.
You need a Meta account now instead, I saw the email. Can't believe anyone trusted this company.
Guess what else you need an account for, Nintendo, Xbox, Switch, Steam, Epic, and every other freaking service.
How the hell do they get a pass?
@CrimsonWing69 because unlike Facebook/Meta they don't have a reputation for monetizing your data and selling it to third parties (and then lying about it).
Oh.
You mean after you put the need in place; making sure you tied in the majority before going "lol just kidding" ?
Facebook has taken yet another step towards Mark Zuckerberg’s vision of the metaverse. The Meta CEO recently shared that the company’s Roblox-like game building platform, Crayta, is now available on Facebook Gaming via the cloud.
