Who even falls for that shit lmao nobody is wanting to play fucking Second Life 2 and pay premium for all sorts of digital goods and VR headsets are still uncomfy as fuck

stop trying to make metaverse a thing, its not gonna be a thing

>>50750047
Sounds like bitcoin

YES GOY METAVERSE

BUY DIGITAL LAND AND CLOTHING

NO WORRIES YOU DONT OWN A VR HEADSET, YOU WILL OWN A VR HEADSET, YOU WILL HAVE A DIGITAL LIFE AND YOU WILL PAY US FOR ALL SORTS OF SHIT IN THIS DIGITAL LIFE

OH YOU DONT CARE FOR GAMES? TOO BAD GOY! YOU WILL PLAY THE METAVERSE AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY

Sounds like a buying opportunity!

>>50750079
The goyverse.

>>50749985
These have to be other companies buying promotional spots not knowing anything about video games or whats popular. No actual, real people bought this...right?

>>50749985
Skip the part where you offer a fun gaming experience or interesting environment that attracts people and go straight to monetizing your empty world. And people actually fell for this. I loved the part where these "investors" tried to convince people that these crypto games where really cool and the future.

>>50750000
Checked. And no, it had zero potential because VR chat exists already

>>50750000
Fuck this satanic commercial, but in a way I'm thankful for it. The moment I saw this I was immediately driven to a spiritual path that has been life changing. It's almost as if the harder these satanists push, the harder God pushes back.

>>50749985
WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED THIS?

IT HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL!

>>50750013
Nothing wrong with buying virtual land at a decent price in a good user content based MMO for coomers and autists. It's a proven sustainable business model.
No one is making a good coomer/autist metaverse though, it's all normie trash with little engagement. Second Life sucks but no one is making anything better.

>>50749985
Everything has become so fake and gay, we literally stop building and doing stuff in real world.

>>50750406
Wouldn't that be a good solution though?

Hook all the retards into the fake and gay matrixverse and never let them back out. Then we can finally focus our attention on fixing the real world

No, it didn't.

>>50750066
Problem is, even crypto companies are in it now. The metaverse uses your coins as its wheels. The digital hell is "too big to fail". The only thing that could bury this is a war

Remember, buy when there's blood on the virtual streets

>>50752523
This, it might actually be a good deal now assuming they keep developing it.

So are you building a real house on your virtual land anon? Is your virtual gf in the room with us right now?

>>50749985
where to buy metaverse land?

Here's how this works:

"Investor" Pajeet sir "Buys" virtual asset (from himself) for ONE MEEELIION DOLLARS

Pajeet pays to announce this news in a PR release which other journalists pick up because they are lazy fucks and the scum of the earth. This signal boosts the pajeet sale to the masses.

Masses start buying the virtual "assets" from pajeets for real money

Bubble bursts, dumb greedy masses lose their money, pajeet dines on the best curry in the village.

>>50752622
>>50753048
Quit fooling yourselves faggots. Five years from now you will all be begging to enter the decentralands I own but I wont allow any of you short-term preference subhumans to ever cross it. I will only allow women in my decentraland so I get a harem while you stay crying in some Meta public park bench about how your life became worthless because you were skeptical of the future. But you don't want that, right? So don't bite the hand that feeds you. You better start renting my land and advertising it if you want me to charge you small prices out of good will.

>>50750000

Something about this commercial felt wrong watching.
Not in the uncanny valley sense but in a demonic way.
Perhaps I sound schizo but I felt sick to my spirit watching that.
Are normies really that souless to enjoy this?

What the fuck? I just looked up that commercial on youtube and that was a fucking mistake. I had a physical reaction of revulsion. It really is demonic isn't it?

>>50749985
Metaverse is the most retarded shit in existence. Who wants to escape from the real world where rich fuck you in the ass to a virtual world where rich people fuck you in the ass? There is a reason why p2w games other than gacha usually flop horribly.

>>50750436
Killing Jewish children till the Jew populatioin dies down, also accompolishes this

>>50750389
no, it is inherently wrong and speculative even if you think your meme game is the best, because scarcity has no reason to exist in the digital realm
bittards made that mistake, now nftfags make the same mistake. digital scarcity isn't a value proposition, it's a low tier attempt to replicate legacy systems because they're easy to grasp for the unimaginative
ultimately, the unique properties of blockchain will make for similarly unique conceptions of ownership, and that's where the value will be

all the metaverse games are shit so why would anyone want the land?

>>50749985
Why can't these "metaverse" retards understand that for anything inside your fucking GAME (yeah, your fucking "virtual world" is a game retard, live with it) have any type of value, it requires that people would actually want to play it?
Literally every fucking crypto game is either second life with default unity assets or fucking free mobile games that you pay $100 to play.
The first person who actually makes a fucking crypto game that people actually wants to play for reasons that arent to just get money will be a billionaire, unironically.

>>50749985

>>50750013
You need real land and real buildings to contain the servers that'll host the virtual lands. This is why I'm all in data center REITs. It's the REIT that can't be beat :)

>>50753825
That applies to crypto in general. It has zero utility or fundamental value. It's a solution in search of a problem.

>>50757060
>zero utility
Until someone digs your post social media posts and use it to seize your funds.

>>50750066
it's crazy. metaverse is literally just a scam to fleece boomers that have never played a video game

"metaverse" games are just an extremely niche and boring video game genre. nobody plays that shit, they like fortnite, lol, dota, and counter strike

has anyone here spent more than 10 minutes in decentraland? they've been building that shit for years and its AWFUL. gonna be another 2 decades before there's anything remotely fun in it

>>50753825
There is fundamentally no reason for video games to be built on blockchain tech. Literally zero reasons.

Any game is better off being centralized on data center servers.
It's a stupid cash grab.

>>50758619
Unless you want to trade your hard earned gems, epin lightsabres or butterly knives for real world money I guess. Agreed, servers maintaining the infrastructure is fundamental, but some sort of ownership over your avstar and electronic assets could need a timestamp or something in all sorts of games where you grind it.

Gamers want a hyped game to feel alive. If you could build in leasing strategies or unlock ownership and access areas etc only achieved by skill or merit you'll be able to build some hefty sorts of utility value if the player base is educated enough not just to throw dollars at gold chests in the goyshop.
Think Runescape, Counter Strike. WoW eternity vanilla. Not all grinding games will be better off, but think in the lines of if you'd be 12 yesrs ood and jobless, wouldn't you like to find ways to earn some cash playing games? A layer of ownership built off the game itself is where it can branch off to real fi.
You could basically revive all classic online games that don't rely on item resets like diablo 2.

>>50758954
>think in the lines of if you'd be 12 yesrs ood and jobless, wouldn't you like to find ways to earn some cash playing games?

Any such system would be immediately gamed by a horde of pajeets and chinese

Hey, I got 200 dollars just playing some retarded crypto game last week and being better than majority of thirdworlders playing it

Tbh I literally dont think its complete bullshit

>>50749985
how is meta any different than buying land in something like second life?

>>50761034
it's decentralized so developers can't just ban you and delete your shit

>>50758954
With everything you described there's literally zero reason to use a decentralized blockchain instead of a normal website. Everything you described has been possible with a website + database for 30 years now.

Blockchains add NOTHING new to gaming.

>>50760920
I think you're insane

>>50760984
I doubt hes THAT mentally retarded

Hes a fucking wizard godsake

>>50761110

Blockchains add a decentralized ledger, so that game users can record their "scarce" "digital assets" on it and this is decentralized from the company that makes the game, and this is good. Also you can grift suckers on it with retarded things like "virtual real estate" lmao

>t-the metaverse is c-cool fellow millenials, h-hey zoomers the metaverse is the current thing

>>50749985
Metaversetards are so strangely clueless about video games existing, it's like they came right from 1980s

>>50761110
when selling items for real money you have to go to black markets with lots of scams and the risk of getting banned. tranny devs can rugpull you in various ways like when runescape banned real world trading and locked down the game mechanics. there's also the risk of the servers getting hacked or glitches being exploited which proper smart contracts would prevent.

>>50761028
For example ?

>>50750047
>bunch of bits that gives them no entertainment pleasure just to resell it to a bigger fool
That's unironically what USD is

>>50761158
>so that game users can record their "scarce" "digital assets" on it
Again, don't need a blockchain, just need literally 90's database tech

>and this is decentralized from the company that makes the game
And this is beneficial, how exactly? A centralized company makes a centralize game running on centralized servers, but hey you can store a link to a centralized game asset on the blockchain.
This is a solution where no problem exists.

>Also you can grift suckers on it with retarded things like "virtual real estate" lmao
All the more reason this whole "metaverse" thing is a dumb speculative bubble that popped

>>50761123
True and so are your slavemasters, goy.

I'm surprised someone actually took cuckerberg's "vr chat but srs" idea seriously

>>50761207
>when selling items for real money you have to go to black markets with lots of scams and the risk of getting banned. tranny devs can rugpull you in various ways like when runescape banned real world trading and locked down the game mechanics.
This is entirely dependent on the devs/owners of the game. For the thousandth time: you don't need a blockchain to get your desired functionality. Everything you want has been possible for the past 30 years. Hell, look at EVE Online.

>there's also the risk of the servers getting hacked or glitches being exploited which proper smart contracts would prevent.
lmfao, god help you if you believe this

>>50761343
cope
when blockchain technology is more mature there will be no reason not to use it

>>50761289
>And this is beneficial, how exactly? A centralized company makes a centralize game running on centralized servers, but hey you can store a link to a centralized game asset on the blockchain.

Well you see, you could host it on Web3 using ICP, and the game could be administrated by a DAO, and you could provide oracle info on the pricing of the digital assets using chainlink and it could be searchable using GRT, and there's lots and lots of different grifts that could be used to make money and have absolutely shit performance and be ludicrously expensive.

>>50750632

SHEEEEEEEEESHHHHHHH

>>50761352
Fuck off. There's loads of valid use cases for blockchain tech (global settlements layer, composable tokenized real-world assets, decentralized lending markets), and gaming sure as hell isn't one of them.

>>50761375
lmao my point exactly. There's no functionality that requires a blockchain to perform, and using a blockchain is slower and more expensive than standard web2 tech. Makes no sense to shoehorn it in.

>>50761455
Roblox will port their player-auctioned hats into NFTs and own gaming blockchain in a few years though

>>50761455
>gaming sure as hell isn't one of them

it is tho. user demand should require all digital assets to be owned by the user. current system the game company retains ownership and limits how you're allowed to use/sell it.

if im going to play a game for 20-80 years, i want absolute certainty i will own all my assets for the entire duration, even if the company goes under.

there's no benefit to allowing a centralized server to own your assets. therefore the market will naturally gravitate away from it when other options present themselves

>>50762433
>i want absolute certainty i will own all my assets for the entire duration, even if the company goes under
Okay congrats, you're going to "own" links to game assets for a game that's shut down because the company went under and you have no way of using anything outside of the game

And I guarantee you won't own the IP rights anyways so those assets won't really be yours

I swear you metaverse guys don't have a clue how things work

>>50750356

Might buy some virtual land and build a vr escape room on it desu bros. way cheaper than doing it in real life, could charge pennies for admission and I wouldn't have to worry about normies breaking shit because they think they're clever

I just bought a VR safespace for me

>>50750066
people dont give a fuck about what gamers think or do. The industry is shrinking because of ESG programming mills purposefully collapsing that field because games are a waste of electricity and chips.

Normalfags will get shill blitzed regardless if gamers want to shill or not.

all these multi billion dollar corporations aren't investing in NFTs and the metaverse for nothing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gs9Djq8AyEQ

>>50764802
It unironically could cause Facebook (sorry, I mean "Meta") to shit the bed. They've invested a lot into this for some reason. I have not really seen other large social media buying into it.

>>50766534
I'd prefer every single one of them were marched outside and strung up but I guess I'll settle for this as a temporary measure instead.

>>50766534
Facebook took a step off the cliff by launching their project WAY too early, and when the time comes they'll be too traumatized to invest in VR again while companies like Apple will pick it up lmao. Facebook started with the wrong foot by selling 500$ VR googles AT A LOSS for this janky kinect 2.0 sample test called metaverse. If anything, keep these inflated prices up and the Chinese will come up with their own metaverse for their cheap and widely accessible headsets

>>50766717
I actually take back some of what I said, facebook has some legit horrifying black box shit like Project Cambria which is a VR where it tracks all your body without needing hand/feet gadgets. It will give them some highlights but again the thing will be really overpriced

>>50768935
The metaverse is supposed to be some huge and persistent online space, with some huge support from most big retailers and media producers, maybe even gov support and workplaces so you can fully "live" inside it.
A space you must access using some advanced virtual reality set up

simply put, a matrix lite

But we are DECADES from that, current virtual reality tech is GARBAGE, it must be something cheap you can use all day, like a small visor.
Ideally you also need some real tactile feedback, for the full body even.

The current metaverse stuff are just cheap clones of second life and other old online rpg, all scams.
And meta facebook is just facebook, they lack all the tech.
