    I mean, the same thing is being said about the Metaverse today. I get the hate for the corporate dystopian ones, but it does not mean it will just fade away. The Metaverse, or really many of them as they are decentralized, are still being incubated, but they are coming and some are being very well received for those who seek them out.

      Why are we calling it the metaverse when things like VR chat existed long before Meta came into the picture

        Has nothing to do with meta/Facebook. The term was already used in snow crash in the early 90s and later in ready player one.

      VRChat is already a success, and it can be seen as an early iteration of a VR metaverse. It’s just the beginning.
