Meta Q2 jelentés: A Metaverse divízió 2.8 milliárd dollárt veszít

Since changing its name to Meta in October last year, Facebook’s mother company has been actively engaging and producing projects that further pushes its venture into the metaverse; however, their second-quarter report showed their metaverse-specific division has suffered a $2.8 billion loss. This brings the division’s year-to-date losses to $5.77 billion. 

Meta szerint bevételi jelentés that was released Wednesday, July 27, Facebook Reality Labs (FRL), which focuses on the firm’s augmented and virtual reality operations,  was able to generate $452 million in revenue for the second quarter; a 35% down from last quarter. 

Despite the loss, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg still stands firm on his view with the metaverse. He noted that the company is more focused on its long-term metaverse and Reels growth than maximizing short-term revenue from monetization.

“The metaverse is a massive opportunity for a number of reasons.It enables deeper social experience where you feel a realistic sense of presence with other people no matter what you are doing.” –Mark Zuckerberg, Meta CEO

Further, although the company said it expected Reality Labs revenue to be lower in the third quarter compared to the second quarter, Zuckerberg continues to convince their shareholders to still support their web 3 projects.

“By helping to develop these platforms, we’re going to have the freedom to build these experiences the way that we and the overall industry believe will be best, rather than being limited by the constraints that competitors place on us. I feel even more strongly now that developing these platforms will unlock hundreds of billions of dollars, if not trillions, over time,”  elmagyarázta.

Just this month, Meta officially began testing non-fungible token (NFT) integration on Facebook.
