RP1

A new era for immersive 3D content. This event marks the moment anyone can begin building connected, persistent 3D experiences on their own servers - not inside a walled garden. luma.com/qiuzwowh #SpatialInternet #metaverse #AugmentedReality #virtualreality #AndroidXR

@tom_krikorian @TechnoidFR Which is why we need a metaverse browser. Omb.wiki

@TechnoidFR De ce que j’ai vu, c’est pas que le hardware aussi le problème, la partie software est vraiment pourrie chez beaucoup d’entre eux.

Microsoft pulling the plug on the HoloLens in 2027 is doing a lot of harm. Trust has to be earned back. Enterprises are looking for a more trustworthy partner; my personal bet is on Apple and visionOS here (for use cases not needing see-through, obviously). The AR/VR divisions of big companies don’t need to be convinced; it’s internally they need to convince that they’re not going to waste millions on a device or platform that won’t be here in 10-20 years.

@nottycoon @RBXevents_ Correct. This is why we need an open ecosystem for UGC, 3D virtual, and augmented reality content, built on open standards. The open web already solved this problem for the World Wide Web. We need to solve it for UGC gaming and spatial computing. metaverse-standards.org/news/blog/intr…

@RBXevents_ Basically, if a brand wants to place an ad in a Roblox game, Roblox takes a share of the money the brand pays the game creator for the ad. For example, Roblox would take a portion of the money that Lady Gaga paid for an ad in Dress to Impress.

From 2027 Roblox is going to be taking a cut from all brand integrations inside games. Currently a brand can work directly with developers, meaning developers take the full fee, from 2027 Roblox will be charging developers for having brands inside their games.

@Andrew18AL @RBXevents_ There is another path where like websites in the World Wide Web, individuals, creators, devs can own what they build, host it on their own servers, and monetize openly/freely. Learn more: omb.wiki metaverse-standards.org/news/blog/intr…

@RBXevents_ so we use their platform giving them money, spend more money on robux for investments, spend more money to create a game, get scripters, vfx and the lot. for them to take money off us which we earn? that doesn’t seem right at all. hard earnt money for a personal project. fraud

@NightFoxx Roblox is soon gonna be dead after this... Where do we go with this...

Roblox continues to show new lows... They are already taking 70% of every transaction made inside games, and now they will be charging fees for brand integrations? This is the equivalent of YouTube taking sponsorship percentages from creators who do brand deals on their videos. (which they don't) Why does Roblox continue to squeeze out more money from those who work hard to keep the platform running? Without devs, Roblox HAS NO platform... STOP 👏 BEING 👏 GREEDY! 👏 Algorithm favoring cash grab games, price increases on marketplace items, now this... where's the end?

@NightFoxx This is why we need an open ecosystem for UGC, 3D virtual, & augmented reality content, built on open standards. The open web already solved this problem for the World Wide Web. We need to solve it for UGC gaming & spatial computing. Own what you build. metaverse-standards.org/news/blog/intr…

Roblox is insane and this is incredibly damaging. Imagine a world that YouTube or TikTok wanted a fee for every single brand collab a creator did? This is from one stand point only. Greed.

@bobjenz @KreekCraft @lilygia The Open Metaverse Browser, based on open standards, will open up 3D UGC content to everyone across all devices, including upcoming AR glasses, similar to how the web browser disrupted mega corps like AOL ~30 years ago. Lean in: omb.wiki

see if you can stop the mega corps with calling them greedy, it won’t happen. What incentive do they haw to adhere to your standards over their own? Every UGC platform (YouTube used the “UGC” term 20 years ago, it’s just back again) - every platform of this sort has been accused of greed. Corporations roll on, so it’s up to making great solutions for thr creators and deal makers. This could simply mean prices just went up for advertisers. Tack on whatever Roblox wants in terms of a cut and pass it on to the advertisers.

@bobjenz @KreekCraft @lilygia There is an alternative path. One based on open standards for all UGC, 3D virtual, and augmented reality content. The open web already solved this problem. We need to solve it for UGC gaming and spatial computing. metaverse-standards.org/news/blog/intr…

@SigmaTechRBLX @cantfindshirt When you build on a closed platform, you own nothing. Not your worlds. Not your audience. Not your commercial relationships. Not your data/revenue. You are a tenant. And as every tenant eventually learns, the landlord sets the terms. There's another way: metaverse-standards.org/news/blog/intr…

@cantfindshirt they made the platform, so it's the equivalent to renting space on a highly visible billboard

@cantfindshirt @agw_bk There is an alternative path - one that puts 100% of the revenue, ownership, and opportunity back in the hands of all developers and creators. Build and support an open ecosystem, just like the World Wide Web, but 3D. metaverse-standards.org/news/blog/intr…

@agw_bk despite what they say… it’s all about the revenue

@cantfindshirt This is why we need an open ecosystem for UGC, 3D virtual, and augmented reality content. These are the negative risks of building in closed proprietary platforms. Always one business decision away from your business model being thrown out the window. metaverse-standards.org/news/blog/intr…

🚨RED HOT SCOOP ALERT🚨 Roblox is coming for creators’ brand integration dollars. Starting in 2027, the platform will charge creators a fee to publish experiences containing sponsor logos or brand activations — and GamesBeat has all the details. READ: gamesbeat.com/roblox-moves-t…

Why it’s different: Roblox taking a cut of brand deals is not crazy. It just depends on what they do with it. YouTube mostly stayed out of sponsorships. Even with Google Preferred and the FameBit acquisition, brand deals largely remained creator-driven and off-platform. That model worked because video is static. Roblox is not that. Roblox is live, interactive, and operational. Games need teams, updates, and ongoing support. The user is inside the experience, not just watching it. That changes everything. Brand integrations here are not placements, they are systems. They are coded into the experience, can evolve over time, and can be swapped or optimized like software. So yes, Roblox should be involved. But only if they are building real value. Better tools. Better brand matchmaking. Better measurement. Better player experiences. If they just take a cut, developers could find other wats to route around them or build elsewhere, but I highly doubt that would cascade. If they build the infrastructure, they become essential. That is the line. So Devs just need to build great experiences first. The money will be there.

Terrible move from Roblox. This is the equivalent of YouTube taking a cut of creators' sponsorship money. This is so insanely anti-creator and anti-developer it makes me question the future of the platform. This is just greed plain and simple.

@updogjp @AndyFidel_ @SadlyItsBradley That is not acceptable. When you build on a proprietary platform, you own nothing. You don't own your data. You don't own your customer relationships. You don't control your revenue streams. You don't control your destiny. You deserve better. We are offering another path.

@NathieVR The XR industry today resembles the early 1990s internet, fragmented into incompatible proprietary platforms. Just as walled gardens gave way to the open web, today’s proprietary XR platforms will evolve into an open metaverse built on universal standards metaverse-standards.org/news/blog/intr…

Breaking: Meta Horizon Worlds will no longer be playable on Quest, shutting down this June.

We’re excited to partner with the #WorldsinAction Hack (@fdotinc, SF, March 14–15) by @Sensaihackademy, supporting this industry-wide initiative on World Models, If you’re building at the edge of XR, or spatial AI, join the workshops and hackathon! luma.com/worldsinaction…

The @Metaverse_Forum and RP1 are launching the Open Metaverse Browser Initiative, an open-source effort to build the foundation for how the world will access spatial services. Learn more: metaverse-standards.org/news/blog/intr… RSVP to GDC Event: luma.com/ewd6d3hh #metaverse #gdc #gdc26

@Dilmerv Come join us at the frontier tower at the first open metaverse hackathon around the first metaverse browser and new standard around websites called spatial fabrics. There is also a big GDC XR mixer starting at 5pm also at the frontier tower.

On my way to the ✈️ San Francisco GDC 2026, I’m excited to meet many of you! If you’re in the area and would like to chat, feel free to DM me, and I’ll schedule some time for us.
