VRChat is still free. They spent $80B to make a worse version of a free game.
Oh, I’m going to be petty and keep calling the whole company “Facebook”.
Whenever somebody talks about using “meta AI” to ask a question or what not I’m quick to say “Oh so you asked facebook for an answer?”
And it’s wild that facebook is still making them money, when is that rabid dog of a hellsite/app going to be put down? It’s caused so many fucking problems in the world.

Answered your own question
I think one of the reasons for its failure to attract anyone is because it was extremely off putting from the get go. It wasn’t just a place to hang out and play dumb games - the crypto morons advertised the metaverse as a complete replacement of human socialization and interaction.
Church, movies, parties, comedy club, dance club, whatever - will all take place in some dogshit virtual space with the graphics of a cookie cutter 2010 MMORPG. They succeeded with their crypto scams because everyone desperately needs money and willing to risk everything for a pump and dump called ShibaCumToken, but when you start telling people “well you’re all going to have grill nights in my bibeo bame” then people will want to knock your ass out.
Roblox is going down this route. They’re trying to implement a dating service into their game for “adults” instead of addressing the pedos and nazis that roam
So, it is this verse that must be cleansed of life, so that Underverse can populate and prosper. In our faith, you keep what you kill.Palace chat > Second Life > Metaverse > ???
This will be back in 20-30 years. Mark my words.

If only they could get the legs working smdh
the funniest part is you can just lean into not having legs like nintendo did with miis, turns out nobody gives a shit if you’re confident in your style choices
$80B and all you did was ruin a name from one of my favorite books
that 9 zeroes, 80 billion, not trillions
oh duh. I counted the commas but skipped billions for some reason
thought the same until I realised “were they cooling that shit with whale blood tf”
It was just a bad concept. The “metaverse” as a space where you use a cartoon-lookalike of yourself to go to work meetings in VR is fundamentally nonsense. Why would my colleagues and I all put on these dumbass VR headsets and move around in a clunky VR space when we can literally just pick up our phones and do a group video call? I can screenshare my powerpoint presentation too.
Why would I use the metaverse to play terrible metaverse games with my friends when I can hop on a discord call with them and play Overwatch or League of Legends or FFXIV or whatever we want? If I want to play a VR game with them, I’ll play a VR game with them. What do I need the metaverse for?
I can’t eat a pizza in the metaverse. I can’t kiss my girlfriend in the metaverse. I can’t get drunk at a bar in the metaverse. Any physical activities are impossible to do in there, and any digital activities can be experienced through non-metaverse media at much better quality. It’s comically inefficient for communication as well. What is this for?
That’s too much grounded thinking for a techbro investor, have you considered that it looks like in the movies
Second Life stays winning.
