<p>Create 3D content to sell for Dual Universe currency, yeah. They want to keep it very much an internal system closed off from the real world. (Though no doubt people will soon do RL money deals for various goods and services on the side.)</p>Ehrman commented on 'The Metaverse is Here: Now in Open Beta After 6 Years of Development, Dual Universe's Lead Creator Speaks'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef026be40f679a200d2020-09-07T20:06:49Z2020-09-08T22:43:49ZEhrmanHuh . . . the market terminals displayed look very similar to those I remember in Entropia Universe.

<p>I have to say, after seeing how well Fortnite ran on an iPad and how much construction was possible in their open world mode, investing in an expensive Windows-based gaming PC and external GPU just to support these heavy old graphics engines, seems like such a waste of money these days. </p>
<p>As much as I resent the closed ecosystem that created it, the combination of Apple silicone + Metal + Unity have in 2020 far surpassed the quality, value and performance of these old, heavy Windows-based games.</p>Alicia commented on 'The Metaverse is Here: Now in Open Beta After 6 Years of Development, Dual Universe's Lead Creator Speaks'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef026be40edfce200d2020-09-05T23:36:28Z2020-09-08T22:43:49ZAliciaYeah... this is basically like EVE Online, but without restrictions for the most part.<p>Yeah... this is basically like EVE Online, but without restrictions for the most part.</p>Bavid Dailey commented on 'The Metaverse is Here: Now in Open Beta After 6 Years of Development, Dual Universe's Lead Creator Speaks'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef026be40ed538200d2020-09-05T20:34:00Z2020-09-08T22:43:49ZBavid DaileyAs iggy said, windows only.

<p>World designers, I know it's a lot of work, but make 'em cross platform. Still, that may not be your business model. I'm sure there's money to be made in the high-end PC-gamer market.</p>
<p>Good luck. It does look stunning, but I'll play elsewhere: lots of good cross-platform European board games on boardgamearena.</p>
