I played WoW for about a year and gave it up. Straight up threw my games in the trash. It was taking over my life. I ended up having more connections with people in my guild than irl friends. It was terrible. If that is what they want... I will go live in a van in the middle of the woods. I am not going through that again! I started calling it World of WarCrack. lolThese companies desperately want to adopt business model of early 00s MMORPGs, most notably WOW. Gamers would schedule their real life around events in that game such as raid, many spent hours daily on that game, and others spent their entire day on that game and this was before streaming. Thats the business model, get people hooked so they can mindless spend their lives on your app or “metaverse”. Companies see an atmosphere to recreate a better version of that business model now and are trying to tie it in with crypto.
So to answer your question, yes I see the metaverse growing but with the increasing show of incompetence from these major gaming companies, I think all of this will be pushed by a indie company.
I never played WOW btw lol, before my time.
Yes this is exactly what major corporations want. They want to hold your attention as close as possible to 24/7. The innovation part of technology is giving these companies a pass at creating straight up oligopolies. This is why we see Amazon in cloud services, media, music, groceries, pharmaceuticals, groceries, shipping, etc. If they can’t produce and ship everything they’re going to try to get as close as possible to it and now metaverses are the perfect platforms for a 24/7 advertising base for the aforementioned subsidiaries.I played WoW for about a year and gave it up.

I hope people realize what direction we are heading and start to pull back. I feel like the stupid ones aren't going to though and unfortunately there are way more that "follow the herd" than activity going against this kind of nonsense.Yes this is exactly what major corporations want.

We can start to pull back by understanding the business model and how these companies make money. These major companies hold your attention and then advertisers those companies for a piece of your attention. These are the same major corporations that run the world, we pull back by supporting black social media companies. This is why I post on 6zeroes.I hope people realize what direction we are heading and start to pull back.

For sure. People do have more power than they realize but they have to actually move on it and really show these places what we want. This is what gives me some hope.We can start to pull back by understanding the business model and how these companies make money.
