Any time someone describes 'metaverse' they just end up describing Minecraft, which I've played for quite a while and I really enjoy it. I don't think Minecraft is the future of all human interaction, but that hasn't detracted from Minecraft being successful.

Unless 'metaverse' is supposed to only mean 'VR platform sold by Facebook'.

That is exactly what Zuckerberg is shooting for, and why he is failing on an epic scale. He doesn't really care about VR and virtual universes so much as he cares about ownership of the 'one true metaverse'.

Facebook should pivot to making Minecraft mods. That'd make a better Metaverse.

I realize this is in jest, but Minecraft is owned by Microsoft, and the prime directive of FB/Meta in the last 10-15 years is to own their own platform instead of building on top of platforms owned by other tech giants.

Yeah, maybe they could have beaten MSFT to the purchase.
