The week we go guestless and instead offer twenty minutes of podcasting gold as Trev, Ben and Dan discuss primarily Ubisoft, and a move into NFTs that has generated headlines such as;
"Ubisoft Quartz is just NFT snake oil"
and
"Ubisoft's NFTs are a new shade of beige"
But was it really such a terrible idea, or a good idea that was packaged all wrong? Listen for some great insights into the whole drama.
And also we touched on the move by Meta (Facebook) with their US launch of Horizon Worlds, their big move into the metaverse, and what it could mean for the average gamer (and worker) out there. Another fascinating area that we're only just scratching the surface on (listen to last week's episode with Eric Londré for a deep dive into this).
And there was a mini book review as we talked Ready Player One, and its sequel Ready Player Two - and there is a great recommendation of one to read from Trev towards the end.

Thanks! TBD.
