Is UEFN (Unreal Editor for Fortnite) going to be the ultimate Metaverse? The Walt Disney Company and Epic Games have announced their collaboration in which Disney is making a significant investment of $1.5 billion to secure an equity stake in Epic Games, marking the inception of a multiyear venture. During Episode #54 of Gamified, industry legend and creator of Words with Friends Paul Bettner offered a thoughtful statement: “What if this actually leads to the ability for UEFN creators to create within the Disney universe? Currently you can’t go make your own Lego game. Maybe they’re working on it though, maybe that’s in progress. Companies like Disney or Nintendo are beginning to get a little more permissive with the remix culture and allowing other people to build incredible content within the IP that they own and have traditionally kind of walled off. There’s a lot of thorny issues that they’ll have to navigate, but if they’re willing to crack that door open, that’s the holy grail we’ve been talking about this whole time.” How about you? What are your opinions on this recent news with Disney and Epic Games collaborating?
