Is the metaverse a concept that has failed to live up to its initial promise, or was it never a viable idea to begin with? These questions and more are tackled in a recent podcast episode recorded at the Future of Gaming event in London.
Host Jack Benjamin is joined by Shay Thompson, a well-respected presenter and broadcaster in the UK’s gaming industry. Shay has worked with prominent organizations such as Bafta, McLaren, Xbox, Activision, and Ubisoft and currently co-hosts the BBC Sounds podcast, “Press X to Continue.”
In this engaging conversation, Jack and Shay explore a wide range of gaming-related topics. They discuss the major game releases of the year, how traditional media outlets like The New York Times have become significant players in the gaming sector, and, notably, why Shay believes the concept of the metaverse is “dead in the water.”
This podcast episode offers valuable insights into the current state of the gaming industry and the evolving landscape of the metaverse.
