Join us on the Practically Reality Podcast as we dive into the recent wave of AI-driven changes across various industries, starting with this year's Super Bowl commercials and their over-reliance on artificial intelligence, raising questions about effectiveness and consumer appeal. We then shift gears to explore the chaos within the metaverse, examining Facebook's (Meta's) struggle with Horizon Worlds and the impact these decisions have on third-party developers. With exclusive behind-the-scenes insights, we discuss the current state of VR and why it's experiencing an identity crisis. The conversation doesn't stop there: we delve into the gaming industry's shift towards subscription models and the fading presence of game demos. Tune in to catch our weekly recommendations for AAA and indie games plus a special book recommendation!
