In recent months, Facebook has taken the lead in setting off a global "metacosm boom." However, in a recent interview, Reggie, the former president of Nintendo North America, poured cold water on Facebook and the metacosm, questioning the definition of the metacosm and arguing that Facebook is not a creative company.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Reggie said: "Facebook itself is not an innovative company, they either acquired interesting companies like Oculus and Instagram, or they quickly followed people's ideas. I don't think their current definition will succeed. ”
Instead, Reggie believes that the digital future that many are trying to pursue will be dominated by "small companies that are truly innovative" as well as "truly engaging" companies like Epic Games.
Reggie also said he believes there will be more acquisitions from gaming companies after Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, and the gaming industry still has a long way to go in terms of diversification.
"It's a global industry involving 3 billion people around the world; It's a $200 billion business," Reggie said. "Representation and leadership in the game are simply not at what they should be."
Reggie will publish his autobiography Disrupting the Game: From the Bronx to the Top of Nintendo in May, which interested players can keep an eye out for.
