LOL I still can’t believe that they were trying to sell MiiVerse within a headset as the future of communication; Where you could buy Tamadochi Life looking homes for thousands of real USD.
Basically a Zuckerberg read or watched Ready Player One and decided he wanted to own that.
They have put a ridiculous amount of R&D into it at this point but the whole metaverse idea doesn’t actually enable anything new or better than the existing paradigms.
He probably read Snow Crash (or maybe an AI summary, because he is a soulless husk) and thought it was super cool. It’s a dystopia. The book is not aspirational.
Metaverse has cost 65 billion so far. That’s the cost of making red dead redemption 2, 130 times. And it looks like a garbage version of miiverse . Who even uses it? What is the purpose?
700 million people use it according to meta
I’m pretty sure you could really make a dent in the housing crisis, transit problems, food insecurity, any other real life problem of your choosing, with that kind of money. The fact that they blew it on “the metaverse” should be a crime
And if Facebook spent that money funding AAA VR games for their headset instead of their shitty VRChat clone maybe they’d have reached the userbase target they’re so desperately chasing

They could have funded Valve to make more VR games.
