Both companies rival meta in different facets of the metaverse and complement each other. If they were to merge, would that challenge meta?
Yeah and they’d probably beat out Meta.
What does snap bring to the table for the metaverse?
Lmao snap is nowhere near a challenger, and metaverse is one of the reasons meta fail more (the other two reasons are Tiktok and Apple), don’t really get the point of this question
Roblox is into 'Metaverse' depending on how you define it. Personally, I don't see Roblox competing with Meta for ad dollars. Snap is not a major player in Metaverse except for a play with Bitmoji. Sooner or later, Tiktok is going to be heavily regulated/banned in US and Europe. Companies like Meta and Snap will recover from Apple issues because these companies and the industry overall will move away from direct performance advertising.
Not necessarily to challenge Meta, but I do think they fit together in the sense of their user bases. Both Roblox’s and Snap’s user bases are primarily teenagers. I can almost guarantee that whoever uses Snap actively is also on Roblox and vice versa. I just don’t see them merging. Given that both CEOs are founders of their respective companies and have majority voting powers. It would only happen if both were crazy of each others’ products and wanted to join forces. We can use Snap’s ad infrastructure and they can use our games to get their users more engaged. Will the merger create more market value and subsequently result in better return for investors? Probably not
What’s Roblox? TC?
game platform. it's the only big spot on the internet with social features where TOS allows under-13 year olds. every kid in the country would laugh in incredulity at one of us olds not knowing what it is
As an adult why would I prefer to play on a platform with kids under 13 😳
