Here's another 2022 New World Notes prediction that's already come to pass:
Linden Lab spinoff startup Tilia to announce major funding or partnership.
Because as it happens, Tilia is now a verified solutions partner of 3D engine giant Unity, with an official plug-in on the Unity Asset Store:
Tilia is a digital payments and wallet platform that enables online games and virtual worlds to build in-world economies and monetize user interaction. It is designed to maximize revenue and transactional functionality within virtual economies that rely on user-to-user transactions and user-generated content.
More on the official site. Notably, besides a brief mention of the blockchain-based trading game Upland as a customer, Tilia says little or nothing about blockchain or crypto. (Probably for the massive and unknown regulatory headaches the crypto world has coming for them soon.) So this looks more like a traditional MMO/online game/virtual world play.
Which kinda makes you think:
Wonder if Linden Lab is planning any other future partnerships with Unity, he asked archly.
