Gaming engines have become so powerful and advanced that they have not only moved into adjacent industries like architecture and automative, but have also moved to impressive states of modularity with more drag and drop type interfaces. What could Apple's iPad's LiDar feature mean for this?

Questions.

What would a world look like where any smartphones could scan a real world object and upload to gaming engines? What kind of worlds and realities could be built? What type of marketplaces for creators could form?

World of Warcraft Classic is alive and kicking. Not sure of the exact numbers but my guess is they're large. This isn't the first time publishers has returned to original content (including graphics). Runescape made a return to their 07 release as well. It's not limited to MMORPG's either. Maybe not original graphics, but we'll see Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2 return shortly.

Questions.

Why do players keep coming back? Do these releases hurt progression of existing versions?

U.S. based social media corps operate globally with generally open access. A user can search Google in almost every country. Twitter and Facebook accounts need just a phone number or email. Not all countries reciprocate this. Perhaps they don't allow other countries on their internal platforms. Perhaps they don't allow U.S. platforms in their country.

Questions.

What would it look like if the U.S. forced its social media companies to localize their access? Would users be better off? Would our founding values of freedom but more susceptible?

Snap just launched Minis. Mini apps within Snap. As I understand it's them opening up their platform for 3rd party developers.

Questions.

Are Snap's users up for the change (an all-app in one type experience perhaps similar to WeChat)? Is their user base large enough for this to have a material impact?
