I think having IG and FB is a liability for them. Imo Epic Games is making better choices right now with their acquisitions and marketing strats. Seems more appealing to me.
Those liabilities will bring in millions of people. Epic wished they had those platforms to onramp users.
Epic doesn’t even have a software platform for VR yet. It’ll be awhile before they even catch up to Valve.
Facebook will likely try to acquire Epic in the near future.
Why Epic as opposed to any other forward-thinking gaming company like Valve? Sort of random.
it always seemed weird to me that fb, that sort of defined "casual interaction", was doubling down on such an immersive technology. the "metaverse" described by Rosedale & Ondrejka was nothing if not immersive.
