Amazon launches Metaverse game, will cryptocurrency grow?
Recently, Amazon launched a 3D web game in which players can move and live in a virtual city. This Metaverse game helps people solve technology problems with the cloud algorithm, and also serves as an educational tool (and sales tool) to teach people how to use cloud services.
This is the first step in Amazon's efforts in the virtual metaverse. According to the plan of the CEO of Amazon Bezos, this new metaverse game aims to promote Amazon Web Services (AWS - the most accepted cloud platform in the world). This platform will collect and analyze user feedback so that AWS can understand cloud storage issues.
However, there are many developers who believe that services should be decentralized, but are essentially centralized because they use AWS for storage. In addition, AWS can remove any company from its servers, which has raised many questions about what decentralization means.
The game is called AWS Cloud Quest and the game is extremely simple. Users travel through the virtual city, helping residents with cloud-related IT issues and earn points for their tasks. The goal of the game is to raise awareness and therefore adopt Amazon cloud services.
AWS Cloud Quest and AWS Educate move away from passive content. We want to transform the abstract concepts of cloud computing into practical knowledge through interactive, practical activities that allow students to switch flexibly between theory and practice.
