So "Ready Player One" with Zuck in charge? No thank you.
Facebook is IOI. There are no Gregarious Games in reality.
yes that was my point. "zuck in charge" would be like if IOI won the contest

#54Within a decade FB will be the next dying messenger and the world will have moved on.
Probably but even underused chat apps sell enough ad space to convince shareholders to trade at $100bn marketcap
So good thing Snapchat didnt sell to Zuck
Re: Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook will turn into a ‘metaverse’
#55The Verge podcast[0] where Zuck made this comment was quite revealing.
Without naming Apple specifically, Zuck managed to communicate an intense fear that Facebook would be locked out of Apple's upcoming AR platform.
Is the 'metaverse' inevitable? Or is it merely sci-fi wishful thinking?
If 'interoperability' and 'decentralization' means that you can't avoid targeted advertising, I'll pass.

#57>> “A good vision for the metaverse is not one that a specific company builds, but it has to have the sense of interoperability and portability”, Mr Zuckerberg said, adding that there should be protocols like the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) internet standards for defining how experiences will be built. Except defined by Facebook, so not really anything like W3C.
Are there any facebook products that have "the sense of interoperability and portability"? Seems like most of their properties strive for the opposite...

Top reason Facebook won't succeed here: they're too greedy.
Say what you want about MS and Google, but they left a lot of money and opportunity on the table for others.
Facebook... notsomuch.
Which works fine when you start with a first mover platform. But doesn't work nearly as well when trying to grow a platform from nothing.
Here's hoping the effort crashes into the ground.

To be fair, given that FB are the 4th biggest company in the S&P 500, almost everyone on this site is probably a shareholder through their retirement plan.

#60Looking forward to logging in once and drawing as many dicks as possible in zucks metaverse before I'm banned.
