I feel that ‘metaverse’ and ‘cyberspace’ are related concepts, in that they exist to give authors a way to portray digital processes and events in a way familiar to the average viewer. And that’s why there’s not been a legit project. Because in the real world, the metaverse lacks a reason to exist. Want to interact with people across the world? There’s already tools for that (VRChat, Zoom). Want to play a game? Why not make the game independent of the metaverse?
Agreed. When I first heard about this it seemed exactly like a rehash of 90s era websites that tried to imitate a real place… Like you would click on the doors to go into the book store or click on the mailbox to send an email… It was lame then and its still lame now.
