Retro Rebel Podcast Ep. 141- Mastermind the Metaverse

Retro Rebel Podcast is hosted by Amanda Fox and Stacy Bishop. Each week they take a deep dive into the gaming industry and discuss news stories, the current games they are playing as well as the topic of the week.  This week we are discussing Facebook’s Metaverse. The true metaverse should be more like ready player one. But why would I want to spend time in it? What’s the risk and are we close?

What we’re playing

Amanda- oh god. I’m playing best friends. It’s embarrassing. I don’t know why I downloaded it and now I’m level 81. Horrible little game. Just glad I’ve not spent any real money on it yet.

Stacy-Kena: Bridge of Spirits, and Sifu. Two games on both ends of the difficulty spectrum! 

Gaming news

There’s a new job posting from Blizzard this week for an established IP and punters think it’s a new WoW expansion.

Early reviews of the valve steam deck are proving popular and this handheld might represent the best value for money for portable PC Gaming.

Main topic – Mastermind the Metaverse

Okay, so first, what is the metaverse? Well, it’s not really how Mark Zuckerberg describes it. In fact, Facebook shouldn’t own it at all. The true metaverse should be more like ready player one. But why would I want to spend time in it? What’s the risk and are we close? We discuss on today’s main topic.
