If Mark Zuckerberg wanted his metaverse concept to be successful why didn't he use vrchat or another successful social vr platform as a case study and learn from what makes it successful? And what implications will this have for fdvr?
This isn't a blackpilling or negative post and I hope for the acceleration of vr/ar tech to the point of arriving at fdvr asap but I'm a bit confused on what metas whole vision for their metaverse was. The way they tried marketing it and the general negative public reception seems like it might've set vr/ar stuff backwards at least in terms of the perception. And tbf the initial demos were terrible.
There's already successful platforms so why didn't zuck try and learn from what makes them successful? The hardware is still kinda bulky but some people can look past that and some vrchat players sleep in the game if not outright live in it so if I was zuck I'd be trying to find out what makes vrchat so addictive. Btw I'm not saying being addicted to that level is a good thing there's probably some way ai can be used to adjust elements in the social vr platform to make it less engaging if the user has spent too much time in-game and should probably take a break.
Tldr It really seems like meta fumbled this one or they were too early
