Allow porn games and you’ll be a billionaire in 2 weeks.

I think they could. From what I've seen it's the same thing but with a VR headset - the headset doing all the work.

Second Life looks the same and works the same. You can even buy property. Metaverse just feels like a rip off to me and it gets my back up a bit given facebook and Zuckerbergs story. It's all hype and no substance.

And yet you offer nothing but bias to refute it

Yeah but advertisers are slightly less nefarious than the Chinese government. Only slightly

Your using a lot of "I feel" statements and relations to past success and events. The only constant in life is change. Business doesn't care what people feel.

Every phone spies on you. Its called advertisement-

They state that they use this information for marketing purposes in that same privacy policy. You are definitely getting targeted ads based on it.

LOL riding dick?

Zuck is a scumbag and I desperately do not want him to control VR.

I am however not foolish enough to think it will never be popular or useful. The only thing really holding it back right now is the hardware. Those issues will be solved.

I was using the internet long before the general public came on board. I remember all the folks saying back then exactly what you are saying now. No one wants it blah blah it's just for nerds blah blah.

This is the same thing all over. Sure no one wants it now while it is cumbersome and difficult to get a decent experience but those issues will be solved eventually. Just like they were with the internet mostly.

People will flock to it the second it becomes comfortable to work with. You are fooling yourself if you think they won't.

The internet and the world-wide-web were actually revolutionary and an original inventions of communication; Facebook is just the same con as Myspace but sold to advertisers. The Metaverse is the same play as any VRChat, but poorly executed and sold to advertisers. Zuck doesn't have an original bone in his body, or the vision needed to revolutionize his hairdo much less the world.

You gotta stop riding dick of billionaires dicks because they sell you something you don't really need...

I don't think you understand or I'm missing something. Everything you think you can do in vr can already be done right now. You say you can walk into a virtual office but what if the same employee doesn't want to talk? What if they disable their avatar or office or whatever. Normally outside of VR you would message the person and ask to meet and talk. VR isn't going to make a difference. If you want to walk into their virtual office, you can do the same by messaging them and/or even direct call them. And with the right permissions, you can see their status and calendar events.

So again, what are unique things that VR bring that we can't do? And let's assume employees may not have their "door" open whether through zoom or VR all the time (regardless of the reasoning). I hope to see your reply because I might be missing something.

I had a Coca-Cola phone around 99-2000 ish.

It was an Ericsson (a few years prior to them becoming Sony-Ericsson) with a Coca-Cola fascia and splash-screen.

You got it by collecting tickets on the side of bottles, and paying a little extra.

I drank a LOT of Coke back then.

The fact you don't recognize that will all be combined is exactly the lack of vision I am talking about.

Work and play in one space controlled by zuck.

It is going to happen just like the internet happened. It took the internet a while to be accepted by the general public as well but here we are with it now being depended upon by almost everything we do.

People thinking adding 3d visuals to the internet is not going to work are fooling themselves. It is going to happen. Maybe not in the timeframe before zuck runs out of money but it will happen. You can see the potential yourself since you mention AR.

Maybe zuck doesn't have the right approach and someone sneaks in and does it right before him but some company is going to and right now the only one really going hard at it is him.

It self destructs when Pepsi is detected

True, but the concept of a metaverse isn’t proprietary. I agree Second Life did it way better before anyone else did, but I don’t think they can sue just based on another metaverse being made.

Virtual reality is just hardware. You can use it on anything.

So Chinese maker so it likely spies on you. I wonder if it crashes when you drink Pepsi?

How could they sue though? They really don’t have any grounds to. Second life is a metaverse, but not virtual reality.

r/anticonsumption

I dont see how metaverse is any different from something like Playstation Home.

Absolutely wrong. You are describing the Matrix not a VR headset

I thought it was a cheese grater at a glance.

If it’s not good enough for porn, it’s not good enough for business.
