I am really puzzled by the amount of people that basically dream up their own story for Facebook and act as if this is coming for sure. Facebook did announce something very vague, didn't show any tech or proof of concept and for the most part it was just "tech visionairy" babble with some buzzwords sprinkled on top. What makes anyone think Facebook has the ability to create even a decent basic game/3D experience? A very basic decent VR experience? Let alone some kind of VR world encompassing MMO? Companies with the most experience and specialized talent in the world in those sectors fail very regularly at the attempts to just create basic decent 3D experiences that don't feel like complete jank. And we have also seen the silicon valley arrogance of non gaming companies with a "It's just <anything related to gaming or 3D> how hard can it be?" attitude fall on their noses plenty of times. The whole "metaverse" announcement gives me the vibes of a mix between Ouya (all the empty PR babble) and Star Citizen (overpromising way too much). > all they did was announce something to divert from a serious scandal This is what it boils down to.
