  It will obviously not ‘exist because of him’. It wasn’t his idea, and thousands of people have worked on the technologies to enable it, and he’s not even the only billionaire with a company who is working on such a thing. For the most part I see him complaining about people impeding him, rather than just solving the problems with his own resources.

  Saving you a click... since I, for one, had no idea who Tim Sweeney was. "Timothy Dean Sweeney (born 1970)[4] is an American video game programmer, businessman and conservationist, known as the founder and CEO of Epic Games and as the creator of the Unreal Engine, a game development platform." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Sweeney_%28game_developer%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Sweeney_%28game_developer%... "Tune in to hear Tim Sweeney (founder and CEO, Epic Games) during his SIGGRAPH 2019 Talk, “THRIVE: Foundational Principles & Technologies for the Metaverse.” You’ll hear Sweeney posit the state of the games industry, the rise of creator-centric and social gaming, what the “metaverse” really is, and what it will take to build the medium on a larger scale." https://blog.siggraph.org/2019/10/siggraph-spotlight-episode-30-tim-sweeney-and-the-metaverse.html/ https://blog.siggraph.org/2019/10/siggraph-spotlight-episode...
