Great article. I don't game anymore (and never did much) because it just takes too much time that I would rather spend doing other more physical things.

The whole idea behind Zuckerberg's metaverse can be summarized as: monetize everything on-line for Silicon valley oligarchs. Their problems are:

1) Gamers like you see through them in a nanosecond; and

2) Noone who is in business (like me) would rather have an important meeting with an avatar than with a camera showing a person's real face.
