Warner Bros. Announces Ambitious Readyverse Metaverse Despite Struggles, Past Failures
-
Warner Bros. is partnering with an AI company to build a "Readyverse" metaverse based on Ready Player One, using blockchain, VR, AR, and AI tech.
-
The project seems very ambitious given WB's financial struggles, the many failures of blockchain/metaverse projects, and consumer disinterest.
-
WB may use its IPs like Harry Potter and DC heroes not yet featured in Fortnite for the Readyverse.
-
The Readyverse goes against the message of Ready Player One about the dangers of escaping reality through VR.
-
The Readyverse champions "provable digital ownership, community-owned infrastructure, decentralization, security," etc. which sounds complex.
