Metaverse

Is Facebook ready to buy a major gaming stock?Facebook’s transition into Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB) and Mark Zuckerberg’s big push into the metaverse — the concept of a shared 3D virtual platform where people can socialize, work, and play — spurred a sector-wide move by tech companies to branch out into other areas like gaming. The burgeoning gaming industry has transformed into a $198.4 billion sector in 2021, far exceeding the combined market size of the box office and the music industry, according to market research firm Mordor Intelligence. Meta and VR gaming Even before Meta announced its push into the metaverse in October 2021, the social media behemoth has built a presence in the gaming market with its acquisition of virtual reality company Oculus in 2014. Meta’s foray into the metaverse would make its Oculus VR headsets more appealing to the market amid strong competition against other VR headsets in the market like HTC’s (TPE:2498) HTC Vive and Sony’s (NYSE:SONY) PlayStation VR. A sharper focus on gaming would encourage Facebook to double down on its investments in the gaming sector far beyond hardware and building a metaverse. The company, which also owns Instagram and WhatsApp, could soon build an army of tech talents that specialize in gaming. Meta gobbles up gaming studios In the months before it rebranded into Meta, Facebook went on an acquisition spree buying small gaming studios. Among its most recent acquisitions in the gaming space are studios Ready at Dawn, Unit 2 Games, VR firm BigBox VR, Downpour Interactive and Sanzaru Games. However, Meta has yet to spend billions of dollars on a gaming company since its acquisition of Oculus in 2014 for $2 billion, raising the prospect of a potential acquisition of a larger gaming studio similar to recent moves by Sony, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Grand Theft Auto publisher Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ:TTWO). Multi-billion gaming deals Three multi-billion dollar gaming deals welcomed the year in January, starting with Take-Two’s plans to buy mobile video game company Zynga for $12.7 billion, which was thought to be the gaming industry’s biggest acquisition on record until Microsoft announced that it is buying Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ:ATVI), the studio behind the Warcraft, Diablo, Overwatch and Call of Duty franchises, for $68.7 billion in cash. Microsoft said the deal would make it the world’s third-largest gaming company in terms of revenue behind Tencent (HKG:0700) and Sony. Two weeks later, Sony said it is buying Bungie, the video game developer behind the Destiny and Halo franchises, for $3.6 billion. Which gaming studio is Facebook eyeing? With Meta’s intentions to promote the metaverse concept, industry watchers are now waiting for the company’s next big move. Meta will likely look to gobble up a gaming studio with a massive presence in the market such as France’s Ubisoft (OTCMKTS:UBSFY), the developer behind Assassin's Creed and Prince of Persia. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot last month hinted that it is open to offers from companies. Roblox (NYSE:RBLX), Playtika Holding (NASDAQ:PLTK) and Super League Gaming (NASDAQ:SLGG) are also likely targets if Meta chooses to snap up the bargains on these companies after their shares tumbled to near record lows recently. In June 2021, Meta bought Unit 2 Games, the studio behind Roblox-like gaming platform Crayta.

Why is Decentraland the Metaverse of Choice for Businesses?The metaverse market as a whole has been down for the last 3 months as we plod through this crypto "winter" - though it's worth noting that Decentraland is slowly closing the gap to Sandbox after its surge last year. But one trend in particular here sticks out -- the emergence of Decentral Games ($DG) coin, which is a project that focuses on casino-style gambling games that are playable directly on the metaverse. In a way it's not surprising -- if you've been on Decentraland lately you might have noticed something: the majority of traffic on the platform right now is clustered near two types of locations -- play-to-earn games (Wunderland, etc.) and casinos run by organizations like Decentral Games. DG is a coin that went all-in on Decentraland's future -- it named itself after the platform it built itself on, even. We've heard many well-known companies jumping into the metaverse but Decentraland seems to be metaverse of choice above all others. Why? After looking into the details of the more popular metaverse projects (Decentraland, The Sandbox, Cryptovoxels, Somnium Space...even platforms like Roblox or Meta) the one thing that makes MANA stand out is the fact that it's the most decentralized platform out of all of its competitors, and its governed by its own DAO in a transparent way. governance.decentraland.org While there may be many who might oppose DG on principle (taking an anti-gambling stance), DG coin is, too, run by a DAO as well. decentral.games We may not see the influx of money going into MANA until the next fiscal year, but the fact that the big companies (including JP Morgan who recently opened its "Onyx Lounge" in Decentraland recently) are going there is easily noticeable -- why? Companies that are planning on operating businesses inside the metaverse seek a platform that maintains its neutrality and largely stays out of its way. The other projects are all run by companies or teams with centralized control in the background - for businesses that have done its due-diligence, a truly decentralized platform is the only option that makes any sort of sense. Following the lead of DG, a lot of companies are hoping to create commerce layers on top of Decentraland to drive more traffic to its worlds, long-term. In a way, these trends is a validation of the decentralized model, since it encourages other projects to follow the success of the DAO model as a whole. Projects that are currently centralized may find itself being left behind long-term, as the partnerships and resources required to make Web3 models work migrate towards better (neutral) waters as a whole.

Binance Labs Invests in UltiversBinance Labs has increased its investments in the emerging blockchain and crypto companies significantly over the past few months. In December 2021, Binance Labs led Multichain’s $60 million funding round. Frank Ma, the CEO of Ultiverse, said: “We’re excited to grow Ultiverse along with Binance Labs and BNB Chain ecosystem, as we share a common vision of Web3 gaming metaverse. I am confident that Ultiverse will be the proof-of-concept that both Web3 and gamers have been clamoring for. We’ll do this by providing intricate virtual worlds and, more importantly, ways in which these worlds can be interacted with and affected in a truly collaborative way.”
