What Is Going On?

Beyond #nfts , scarce experiences until now will become abundant: Games show us the path forward: in a game, you can dream of being anything else you might imagine. Imagine what happens when you apply this to our social life. Virtual concert can generate a personalized plane of existence around each individual in which you always enjoy the best seat in the house, travel to places we can normally not travel to, discovering unknown land collectively.

#games will evolve to incorporate more events that are informed by live entertainment, such as the music concerts and immersive theater that have already emerged in Fortnite, Roblox, and Rec Room.

#esports and #onlinecommunities will be augmented by social entertainment. Meanwhile, traditional industries such as #travel , #education , and live performance will be reshaped around
game-thinking and the virtual economy of abundance.
