On the 13th episode of This Week In the Metaverse, Yon and Matthew dive into a few key topics and circle back to ones from recent weeks with additional color and updates. First, we look at Roblox’s financial results for the second quarter of 2022, look at some of the key numbers for a strong July and look ahead to the platform’s future prospects. Yon also gives a good overview of what, as someone building a business on Roblox, he is most keen to track. Then, we circle back to Unity to discuss the company’s China joint venture partners and what that means for its development in the country. Next, we dive into AppLovin’s unsolicited takeover offer for Unity. And then lastly, we discuss announcements in and around SIGGRAPH including Unity partnering with Microsoft Azure, Unity winning a new government contract and Nvidia’s Omniverse Avatar Cloud Engine.
