I've said that before and I will say it again.
Virtual reality cannot replace actual reality.
First we might get Metaverse gaming and gambling.What's next?Metaverse hookers,so all the incels could experience something close to having an actual girlfriend and getting laid?
I don't understand the people,who are saying that metaverse gambling sounds cool and get excited about it.
What's the point of sitting in casino,which is located in a virtual reality?You are still sitting in front of your computer(or perhaps using VR glasses,or whatever you call this tool).
It seems to me that this Metaverse thing sounds like the new favorite toy of some dysfunctional,antisocial,virgin,incel nerd,who lives in his parent's basement and dreams about having a real life.
They missed out on the development of games that can be called "metaverse" (minecraft) and are now trying to push it as something new now since they want to be the first ones to actually "develop" it. It's basically empty hype by ignorant people that fail to acknowledge that their ideas have long been made into reality and that even if their own vision of metaverse were to be made, it isn't anything good or actually exciting in the first place. Leave the VR stuff to games or activities that we can't exactly experience irl, and those that you can, well, the real world exists, go outside and touch some grass.
People say online things that they would not say in real life because it feels safer for them to do so, and I suppose something similar could happen with the metaverse.
It is true that a great deal of things that you could do there could be done in the real world, but many people will take advantage that it is not the real world for them to have the courage to do them, this is why despite the skepticism of some people I think the metaverse will in fact become very popular in the future, maybe not today as the technology is limited at the moment, but someday it will happen.
