Xbox boss Phil Spencer says metaverse is 'a poorly built video game'
Metaverse is currently an experimental and expensive bet into the future of social interaction online. Instead of sending messages and interacting with people over video calls, the bet here is to meet them in a digital space with digital avatars. At the WSJ Tech Live 2022 conference, Microsoft Gaming CEO and head of the Xbox division Phil Spencer said.
Spencer said that video games already put people together "in 3D spaces to go and save the world from invading aliens, or conquer the castle" but the current iterations of the metaverse concept looked more like a "meeting room" than a virtual world. He said that's not "where I want to spend most of my time". Former Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey compared metaverse to a "project car" that Meta was pouring unreasonable amounts of money into.
