Facebook announced its rebranding to Meta, which is a VR social platform. Roblox is developing platforms to provide user-generated video games.
The industry is expected to grow during the forecast period. These platforms can help provide its users and businesses with a more engaging and interactive social media experience. Moreover, such platforms can provide more intrusive user data, helping businesses to find their customers more easily and even promote their products.
Moreover, during the pandemic, this sector remained mostly unaffected but rather witnessed a positive growth period. Although metaverse platforms are a relatively new sector in the gaming and social media industry, it is already experiencing certain issues. For instance, in December 2021, Meta Inc. discovered cybercriminals running phishing scams designed to deceive people into sharing their login credentials.
Similarly, in November 2021, scammers targeted users of the platform of Facebook (Meta) to attract users and make them invest in their fake cryptocurrency projects, such as “META coin,” disguising it as the official currency for Facebook’s platform. To counter such scams, Facebook later notified its users about the same and declared that it would not have an exclusive cryptocurrency as its currency.
