@thomasfuchs Funnily enough, "metaverse" was a weird attempt to rebrand proven technology that's not going anywhere, but trying to tie it with VR (which is expensive and not everyone gets along with it) and flavor of the week crypto shit that didn't make any sense.
MUDs were metaverses, MMOs are a dying breed with some long staying, established specimens. Fortnite and Roblox are the modern metaverses that are thriving.
Flying cars for the win.
