I think I know where Mark Zuckerberg got 'his' idea for the #Metaverse :blobcatgiggle: Big difference! In the movie it looks fun!

@stux Very likely. I'm sure Zuck would love the notion of most regular people living in converted & stacked shipping containers, doing scut-work every day just to get by and pay for online access to his virtual world.

@stux Not sure what movie you watched, but the movie I saw looked like an unbalanced grindfest with 0 calmness.So, unless you're a competitive player, who loves to rise his rank, and cares about meta for the week, you would find it insufferable game to play.It has literally the real PVP loot mechanic. Many MMOs had tried it. It makes the entire game toxic every single time.Microtransactions? Only enough to make corporate-sige omegatransactions possible. Do I even need to continue?

@stux but it’s like he saw the bad guys’ vision for the OASIS and thought, “yeah I’m just going to cut to the chase.”

@stux snowcrash inspiration aside, the RP1 book was amazing! The movie…not so much.

@stux at least the movie was successful in revenue. Zuck's Meta's been going nowhere but down since he announced his grand plans 🎢

@stux you should read Tad Williams’ Otherland. Published in 1996. It is all there.

@stux The idea of the metaverse comes from Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash (1992).

@stuxI read the book a few years ago. The irony is I imagined Zuck as the bad guy from the beginning. He just seemed like him

@stux It's just a poor version of PlayStation Home.
