Xbox CEO Phil Spencer told Bloomberg Technology that gamers have been in the metaverse for the past 30 years.
Most games today offer a 3D, social world, from World of Warcraft and Roblox to racing simulations, he says.
“It doesn’t surprise me at all that players don’t understand the essence of metaverses. After all, we already have our own avatar, and we can go to the shared world and communicate by voice with people from everywhere, ”said the artist.
Spencer expressed interest in the development of virtual worlds, but urged caution in the Play-to-Earn segment due to speculation in the NFT market.
In January, Xbox owner Microsoft announced that it had acquired video game developer and publisher Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion.
The company said the acquisition “will provide the building blocks for creating the metaverse.” The deal is expected to be completed by June 30, 2023.
Earlier, billionaire Mark Cuban called it the “stupid” idea of acquiring land, mansions and other real estate in virtual worlds.
In August, Trend Micro experts said that the development of the metaverse will lead to the spread of traditional cyber threats in them and the emergence of new ones.
