    Metaverse is just a VR implementation, like Second Life or VRChat. My point is: In a broader sense it’s not a monopoly; only if you are hellbent on wanting a feature only that implementation offers, you have no choice.

    • Yah, you’re right. Like I said, when you say “Metaverse” most people (on the street) are going to think of Meta’s. I doubt most people in even developed countries even remember Sony’s failed VR world.

      Is there another networked VR world that is anywhere near as big as Meta’s today? With nearly as many users (even with as much of a ghost town as it purportedly is)?

      I think you were talking about a hypothetical metaverse, whereas I was thinking about the only one that I know that has any traction - tenuous though it may be - at all, which is Meta’s.
