Platforms and the Evolution of the Metaverse with Mike Schmid
Our guest this week is Mike Schmid, Head of BD at Rec Room and former head of Games BD at Apple. Rec Room is a platform for building and playing games together. In Rec Room you can explore player-created rooms, or share something of your own, across devices ranging from phones to VR headsets.
In this week's podcast we take a dive into what makes Rec Room so innovative – including the power of voice and the convergence of different maturing technologies. We also talk about the metaverse, marketplaces, the viability of blockchain in different applications, the increasing trend of remote work, and what makes a 50% pay cut worth it.
Plus, we discuss the news that Google Play titles are coming to Windows devices. We talk about Apple's silence on controversial ad-measurement techniques being used by some businesses. And we dig into some of the controversies surrounding Roblox.
