It should fail. People are spending tons of money they could have used for better things. They are spending tons of money for things that they will never hold or touch physically! I would rather buy a nice house rather than some virtual one. It may not be as nice looking as the virtual home but at least it will protect you from bad weather. People are also buying clothing in the metaverse and they don't receive ANY thing they could wear and get any actual use from. Instead I see the metaverse as a good place to try these things on before you buy them to be shipped to you. Like if you want some idea how you would look in a certain set of clothes, the metaverse could give you some idea how you can expect to look in them.

Working as I do in a software company I can totally see how the metaverse can end up so bad. Someone at the top of the company has a vague idea, someone a few steps down is tasked with making it. Someone under them has to write the user stories. Developers scratch their heads and say, well you wanted that, which is impossible, but we can do this. No-one has a dream or a vision for this thing but everyone knows there's a lot of money in this project so they just keep working away. I agree with this video that Zuck should have gone to established games developers and said, 'make Second Life' but better in these specific ways...', but Zuck, for a tech billionaire, seems to lack any imagination for this kind of thing.

I've always thought that social media platforms were designed to crush individuality. Remember how customizable MySpace and even KZread was in the early days? You could really make your page your own back then. Little by little that customization was whittled away and now everything blends together.

@frtard

Жыл бұрын

It has nothing to do with "crushing individuality" and all about the tech. It's nearly impossible to develop sites with such extensive customization and still prevent users from breaking the site. So with myspace, you could directly write the markup. Sure, there were limitations, but they traded stability and security for an extreme level of customization. Doing that with today's frameworks is essentially impossible by design. Plus, the customization is one of the major reasons myspace failed in the first place. Pages couldn't be standardized for more effective advertising and, good god... all the crashes, bugs and security issues from being able to edit the markup; so cometh Facebook that 'fixed' all that.

Art is an intrinsically human trait, it speaks to our emotions, it doesn't have to be logical, it appeals to our urges, our fantasies. Corporation with infinite resources will never be able to match a genuine human person when it comes to producing entertainment art such as a video game because corporations cannot compute essence. Corporations go for what they predict is going to produce the highest number of participants with the least number of complaints, as a result their formula for entertainment is always the same, stale, soulless. It's stripped bare of any essence that would make the content engaging on a personal level with the player, they have to compensate by using predatory means such as gambling mechanics and FMO tactics to keep the mentally gullible engaged with the product. An artist understands that different people enjoy different things and that you will never ever be able to create something that appeals to everyone, an artist picks their audience and creates a master work that appeals to that specific audience, people who are into that stuff will play the game because to them it is just good, not because they are coerced into it. Corporations aren't human, they are logical amalgamations of parasites always seeking ways to spread to the highest number of hosts and leech as much as possible before depleting their hosts. Corporations + art don't mix.

People who made those MMORPG's wanted to create games that people would enjoy and monetization was the cherry at the top of it. People who make metaverses only want to create some kind of a gameified crypto marketplace that they can suck all your money in. Just look at how they advertise their products. Even the most gold-digging gaming company doesn't advertise their games primarily with microtransactions, because they understand that people won't pay money for games they don't enjoy. This is the difference. Gaming was born so people could have fun, then they added monetization, which allowed developers to make bigger and more enjoyable games. Metaverse was born so multi-billion dollar company can suck your wallet and it will never become fun, at least with companies like Facebook.

As someone involved in Second Life, there's a few things you should know. First, it's not really a game but an environment - a platform. It's a social media platform. The users are free to do and create whatever they want in their own areas (sims or simulators). We have fifty shades of fantasy role playing - of all types. We have puzzle sims, battle sims, dance halls, sims devoted to *cough* adult themes. Furry sims. Christian sims. Second, almost everything you see in SL is created by _the users_. Yep. You can create your own skins, clothes, items even scripts and animations. All the tools are either provided or you can get that at little or no cost. You can then give away or even sell them.

It's true that Facebook's metaverse isn't going to work out the way they want to. I see more people in games like VRChat and ChilloutVR using the provided desktop mode or using a VR headset. Those games have soul that is created by the communities that thrive and create within them. I think Facebook is going about this incorrectly with a sterile and safe version of those social VR games and expecting soul and whatnot to exist inherently rather than working to foster a community of creatives who would be able to apply their talent to give the game soul. However, while a "Marcus" in vrchat is definitely something allowed, a "Marcus" in Zuckerberg's wild ride would be banned pretty quickly, leaving the game barren and stale. Or full of business people.

Yeah it's the only way their plan to earn billions off of VR COULD work. No one has any hardware and the processors are not powerful enough for portable VR yet. So they have no choice but to make hardware as cheap as possible and in consequence make the graphics as low end as possible. They probably plan to loose money on the hardware and then earn money off of micro transactions etc.. But it takes hundreds of millions of people using it to recuperate their investment. The only way I see this working is if they force people to use it somehow. It's possible they'll give the hardware away for free if things don't work out as planned.

The benefits of that should be immediately apparent. Now, AI can do many things, and there is plenty of training data in terms of images, text and audio. What other training data could be useful? Now, imagine a device that would track movement, facial expressions, voice and many others in the context of natural conversations with multiple people, without the people being aware this data would be collected. If there's a huge demand for this kind of training data for AI, it would make sense to try to make some profit from it. Now consider how much money facebook pours into VR hardware development.

The quest to have total sales control over you.... a.k.a metaverse...

This is only tangentially related, but my absolute favorite bad take is when Ubisoft was trying to push NFTs in Ghost Recon. There was a massive backlash, and when asked by the Australian financial website Finder about it, Ubisoft's VP at Strategic Innovations Labs said that _"it's not an easy concept to grasp"_ and that _"gamers don't get what a digital secondary market can bring to them."_ This is how out of touch these morons are. We've had "digital secondary markets" for two decades now. Gaia Online, Neopets, TF2, CS:GO, and every single goddamn MMO ever. We've learned more about market demand and inflation from these things than we have from school. We know exactly how this shit works, and we know what will happen when corporations try to control "our" digital ownership. Zuck has similar delusions. He thinks that his "Metaverse" is some innovative thing, but the idiot doesn't realize that these concepts have existed for years and been done better. Then again, considering he made a shitty knockoff of Myspace, I can't be surprised. He doesn't know how to come up with original ideas. He also vastly overestimates VR. It's still an expensive, niche hobby for most people and it's not going to have the rapid mass adoption he thinks it will. Gamers are going to look at his shit and point to VR Chat, and normies and businesses are just going to be confused. Why would anyone buy a VR headset to chat to friends or colleagues when they can just use regular Facebook, Zoom or one of the many other alternatives out there? Also I would just like to point out that Facebook is seen as a "boomer" thing now, most of Gen Z doesn't even bother with it.
