    The metaverse already exists, imo. It just isn’t called that and doesn’t belong to zuck. It’s all the multi-user VR experiences that exist today.

      Indeed, that is what is so baffling for me. It is called, marketed and perceived as something very different. It is Second Life, World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV and others. You have a certain core in which the audience is interested in and then social constructs form around them. These modern Metaverse things try to skip the entire core part, but then it just becomes a chat app.
