Recently, Mark Zuckerberg announced the launch of Meta‘s Horizon Worlds in France and Spain. He also said that they plan on expanding the platform to other countries. But here’s the thing, the image that Zuckerberg posted to share the news has netizens talking quite a bit.
Looks great! pic.twitter.com/aFFcvLv4ES

Meta has launched Horizon Worlds for users above 18 years of age in the U.S. and Canada as well as for users in the U.K. The company has also added safety features like controls for voice chat and four-foot personal boundaries around avatars in the Horizon Worlds platform.
Take a look at how people responded to Horizon Worlds’ France and Spain launch. And we won’t lie, there is a lot of shade being thrown at it!

Why are some tech folk so obsessed with recreating second life?

We’ve invested billions of dollars to finally achieve what humanity has been dreaming of – 3D graphics surpassed by Pixar’s short films from the 80s

Metaverse doesn’t even look as polished as Second Life, which came out in 2003.

Second Life also has a dedicated fanbase of deeply weird sex fetishists which keep it afloat.
What does the metaverse have?
I’m always struck by how metaverse and VR stuff has the richest people in the world (CEOs, VC guys, etc) hamstrung by the limitations of designing for the cheapest hardware possible. They’d be able to make metaverse look better if they subsidised or gave away gaming PCs en masse

Good grief. So you want us to sit in our homes and pretend to go to France and Spain? No wonder people can’t communicate in real life anymore. Gesh.

Here’s us hoping that they’ll make improvements to it, because the internet obviously will not accept anything less.
