Fortnite, yes, almost definitely. Epic is a true leader in videogame technology.
Minecraft, no. Minecraft has failed to truly innovate since Microsoft acquired it, imo. I think the evidence of this is apparent in the existence of both Minecraft Bedrock and Java editions.
The metaverse is about creating the one true videogame. The final videogame. The holodeck where gamers themselves can make new games at a rapid speed.
The Unity Asset Store is actually a treasure trove of value for Unity in this regard. I could see Facebook buying Unity for a massive sum or licensing the engine and asset store somehow to make a play towards this vision of the metaverse.
That is, unless Epic just makes it first.
- dmonitor 5y agoMy bet is on Valve being the dark horse in this race. Gabe already has expressed interest, they're assisting development on Garry's Mod 2 (s&box), and they have the highest quality VR hardware. They also have consumer trust, everyone with VR has a steam account, they have a method of sharing user-generated content (and making money off of it!) with the workshop. If they can coordinate, they can take off in this area
