> The point is not to make any money on the hardware; the point is to understand the metaverse so well that when it eventually emerges they will know it better than anyone else and can dominate rather than be squeezed out. Except they dont understand it... We already have pseudo-metaverses in Minecraft, Fortnite, and such, and Meta (so far) is entirely missing the point in their own VR game. Its like they are an AI that has literally forgotten what it is like to be a regular human.
