Comment on Metaverse: What happened to Mark Zuckerberg's next big thing?

People have been trying to make VR go fully mainstream since, probably, the 90s or even earlier. It always flopped after some initial excitement. Who’s next to try their luck?

It’s still popular with the hardcore gamers, it’s just all the Second Life rehash ideas that are dumb as hell making the news.

  Second Life rehash ideas
  
  I’ve got an idea. What about… Second Second Life. We create a virtual universe you access through Second Life!

Imo, the idea of it doesn’t match the reality, which is a very virtual one. Intrinsically, it’s a lot to bet on when real life offers more.

VR today also forces the first person perspective. For some that can cause nausea, and for others they get fatigued quickly.

I think there’s potential but from what I’ve seen a lot of hokey options mixed with a limited market in a limited supply due to price just won’t foster anything organic.
