I think this "metaverse" concept is going to turn into yet another VRChat clone and flop. Sansar is a great example, made by Linden Lab. The problem I see is that it fails to have a demand for it to exist. There will not be an emergent userbase that will flock to it. There's already alternatives. VRChat, NeosVR, Sansar, and others I'm not even aware of. Anyone with VR already knows of VRChat, or isn't the type to care or be interested. So my question is this: How is it going to be an effective VRChat killer? How is it going to make people switch from a massively established community and virtual world that's known and enjoyed by so many people? How is it going to compete as a (probably) VR-Only against a platform (VRChat) that allows both pancake (flat monitor) and VR modes? I feel like the concept is pure hype with a trivial amount of userbase interest (at best). They're late to the party. I don't see it as anything except a failure in waiting. Secondlife is still holding up to this day, since its creation in 2003. Try and figure out why SecondLife is still around and you may see why I see no future for this "metaverse". The only way to bring users is to have users and content, and the only way to bring content is to have users, and they don't have the users. I don't know a single person who is looking forward to it. Of all the social chat groups I am in, it's come up in only one, and the overwhelming response was just pure negativity about it sounding dumb, being a waste of money, and a failure in the making.
