I'm curious what people think of this. PUBG/Fortnite don't seem like metaverse apps... they're just games.

I think it was in Masters of Doom - Carmack was dreaming about a metaverse build on Quake 1.

The game can be a starting point.

I would say that Fortnite is 100x better starting point for the metaverse than what Meta did - the game engine that looked like a 2009 product.

I dunno, their more recent results are pretty impressive: https://twitter.com/AiBreakfast/status/1652121065194409985

People like to dog on their early marketing material, but it's not exactly a far cry from Animojis or Samsung's equivalent Memoji garbage. In this case, it looks like Meta took the criticism to heart and used it to develop something much more advanced.

It can't be dead, we put so much money into it! Classic gamblers fallacy.
