According to the forecasts of the Bloomberg, it counts meta verse as an extremely grand market which market scale amounts to 800 billion dollars. Due to its rudimentary moment of development, there is equal chance for every participants to incubate their program related to meta verse, whatever you are a tech giant or a star-up. As Bloomberg reported, the drastic competition for Meta verse is occurring between America and china, almost all kinds of tech giants in these two nations are crowded into the field. For instance, Facebook, Tencent, Alibaba, Bytedance and so on.

However, as far as I concerned, it is not necessary for all of the tech giants to take part in the meta verse industry, here goes certain reasons to verify my position.

In the first place, meta verse is such a complicated and delicate world that no one is capable of establishing its grand system in a short time, though we all known that meta verse may be adaptable to plentiful areas such as social, game, art, payment, manufacturing industry, among them, game industry is seen as a most promising one. That is to say, in fields other than gaming, meta verse is currently still a concept, company should think twice before they foray into this field，the lesson of blockchain fever is still in sight, because of the wrong decision-making, a large amount of investments of many corporations had been squandered .

When it comes to the connection between game and meta verse, I consider that Facebook may not the most beneficial player in meta verse world. Admittedly, Facebook is the first giant who had noted the concept of meta verse, What’s more, recently, in order to show the determination to transfer into a meta verse company, Zuckerberg announced a new name “meta”of Facebook. Though Facebook looks all in this field, as a representative of gaming players, Roblox is the first one which apply meta verse to their platform by its underlying technology such as VR/AR. Besides, Roblox enables all of the users and producers to make a profit from it. As yet, the magnificent project of meta verse of Facebook is still a virtual plan.

Next, the realization of meta verse world is based on many advanced technology, for instance, VR, AR, blockchain, cloud computing and AI. Neither of them is a mature technology, not to mention utilizing all of them. It is empathetic that every giants is for fear of losing the big chance to expand their company，but not every giants have enough capabilities to manipulate meta verse project, even Facebook is still a newbie in this new trend. Assessment of technical strength of every giants, NVIDIA, iFLYTEK, Google may be more suitable to invest this field.

A more appropriate way for giants to develop meta verse project is to assist other strength of their competitors. For example, to make corporations with others or invest some star-ups. In this case, the invested star-ups just play a role as a team of giant which donate money for them, it may possibly research more effectively and concentratedly without any constraint produced by organizational structure of giant, we usually describe it as “internal friction”.
