Epic is trying to make their own ‘Metaverse’— just wait until Fortnite VR comes out in the near future.

It’s already a place for people to hang out with friends socially and just voice chat, or go to concerts, or go to Escape Rooms, or play music together in Rockband, etc etc.

Epic/Unreal will just keep adding and adding things to their ‘Ready Player One’/OASIS universe.

I tend to agree. Taking the car physics from their acquisition of Rocket League and putting it into a racing game was a bit of genius. It is the most fun I’ve had in a casual racing game since MarioKart.

And,…that’s kind of my point. Epic/Unreal is acquiring gaming IP (Rockband, Rocket League, etc) and putting all of that into their own Metaverse/OASIS garden.

It’s an interesting Facebook-like strategy they seem to have.

Rocket League drifting, boosting, racing on the walls and ceilings, rocket jumping over gaps and each other; it’s pretty fucking wild and can get intense. Whatever team they had working on it internally really did a helluva job.

And No Build in Fortnite is the only way to play imho; stripped down and back to the basics.

Right? Someone I knew wasn’t that much into gaming; took them through something really simple like one of the horror/haunted houses; running around like Scooby Doo; we had fun and got to hang out for a bit and just voice chat.

Acquired and ruined by Meta, who woulda thunk it.

Not to mention his being massively misogynistic, and his ‘Moral Barometer’ bullshit.

So, a couple people went down because OpSec was broken by rival scene groups outing people’s identities; from there things started to crumble more and more.

Petty infighting between scene groups needs to stop. Fall together or fall apart.

There was an attempt to separate WoTC and break it off from Hasbro in 2022.

Dragging down the games it owns and the stock with it, the powers that be at Hadbro instead decided to stick with the sinking ship.

The spin-off would have been beautiful. Run by gamers, for gamers; like it was in the beginning with people like Peter Adkison and Richard Garfield at the helm.

Fun thing is,… the cycle repeats.

~20% of Boomers had good working knowledge of the technologies of their age, similar to today.

I’ve had people close to me say the same thing.

A person who knew thoroughly how to install software and get computers up and running in the 80’s and 90’s, now had no interest at all in learning how to use a cellphone. Cognitive decline/brain shrink inevitably started happening at age 40 or so and it made it more and more difficult to understand the new tech.

Similar thing happens with music, and keeping up to date with new artists and so forth. As you get older I guess you just start to not give a shit as much at all about the newfangled jibjabs and doohickeys.
