Virtual Worlds Management Report: 150+ Youth-Oriented Worlds Live or Developing
Development_3 Virtual Worlds Management today released its updated Youth Worlds Analysis. Based on comprehensive research available through Virtual Worlds News, we've found that there are now over 150 virtual worlds operating or in development with a focus on the youth market (18-and-under). That's up from just over 100 in April, though not all of these are new developments. Some are merely worlds that more recently came to our attention. What has changed to some degree is the development status: In all there are 95 youth worlds currently live. Another 68 are in concepting, development, or testing phases. That's up from 53 in development in April, and I can say for a fact that there are plenty more out there that I know of in stealth mode and I'm sure even more that I haven't heard of. As crowded as the space is, it's only getting hotter.
