Meta x Crayta Announcement 🕹

Last summer Meta bought Unity 2 Games and acquired its content-generating tool named Crayta. Today Zuck announced the launch of Crayta on Facebook gaming. He delivered the news with a video of him demonstrating just how easy it is to use Crayta to build environments. This is the distinction he is trying to emphasize in order to distinguish Crayta from Roblox. Crayta doesn’t depend on a user’s native hardware to render the game, this is facilitated entirely by Meta’s cloud platform. This sophisticated feature means that players will be able to run games and build environments on their phones.

Alternatively, Zuck could have created a decentralized rendering protocol that uses the collective power of people’s GPUs to facilitate the rendering. But it is well known that Zuck is not invested in decentralization; he prefers to preserve monopolies despite the sentiments he shares about democratizing virtual world-building. The acquisition and launch of Crayta is a power move on Meta’s part since they will make virtual world-building accessible at a scale previously unheard of and they will privately own all of the productive tasks that users generate within Crayta.
