This is how Ready Player One should have ended. 😅

I'll never use the Metaverse.

[–] STUPIDVIPGUY@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

neither will anybody else. it's just a worse version of vrchat and it's already dead

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really hope you're right. VR has a lot more long-term potential than most people realize, and if there's a corporation in charge of it it'll be worse

This goes against the whole concept of the metaverse, in metas own words "There won’t be a Meta-run metaverse, just as there isn’t a ‘Microsoft internet’ or ‘Google internet’ today". By definition, if one corporation is in charge, it's not the metaverse.

[–] STUPIDVIPGUY@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah that's a lie. Meta wants to be in charge. They've just failed to take the market share because the product they made isn't good

[–] FellowEnt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We'll see I guess, it's years away from actually existing.

[–] STUPIDVIPGUY@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the project has already failed based on the initial release of their "metaverse" VR game. and whatever future plans they may have I guarantee they will either cancel it or release something completely underwhelming.

[–] FellowEnt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes Horizons is/was underwhelming, but it's nothing close to a real implementation of a metaverse.

meta is nowhere close to their speculative implementation of the metaverse either, it's just an attempt to build hype and keep investors interested until they forget about the whole thing in a few years

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I don't believe for a second that Meta would produce something open and free that they didn't control and make money from

Can't wait for the sex update!

This is going the looong way around.. when a proper functioning brain-cyber interface comes about, look out.

Like in Brainstorm (1983)?

[–] Mcballs1234@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Oh no this is the future
