It's actually kind of amazing that there's not any real consequence to making that bad call. It sucked up a lot of energy, lots of people tried to stake and early adopter position in the metaverse and it turns out everyone just didn't want that.
I think they could have made more money if they built games into facebook. At probably a fraction of the cost really.

- mbajkowski 4y agoI believe they tried to court game developers via Facebook platform at one point. I recall giving Civilization Network a shot: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilization_World https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilization_World

- krapp 4y agoIs that a real consequence? Are Facebook shutting their doors? Is Mark Zuckerberg no longer wealthy?
- robertlagrant 4y agoYes, of course. It's not the sort of consequence that would be meted out by a parent, but it's appropriate. Facebook is much the poorer for it, as is appropriate for them trying a new thing.
