Me in 1995: OMG these graphics could never be better than this
Me too in 2022: See? Told you

[andrewbalan]

He should call it "beta verse" instead of "meta verse", either Zuck dreamt that retro graphics and 90's allure will be appealing to people or he realized too late that three decades of advanced computer graphics actually mean something...people tend to want more nowadays than the SegaVR

[dumdum]

"They made this from scratch"
Bro, indie game devs can do so much better with much less money. This is not an excuse for a multi billion dollar company.


E: mom look im famous

1:03 “This thing looked like Wii Sports from 2008”

That’s an insult to Wii Sports.

[p.p.]

Imagine being one of the people who paid over a million dollars for a plot of “land” in the Metaverse only to realize you now live in an early 2000s Sims game 💀

What a visionary. I can pretty much guarantee that NO ONE envisioned these graphics after hearing how many billions of dollars has been spent.

It's sad that his avatar can express more emotions than anything his real self could ever show...

"you can work in the metaverse..."
"I'm not working in the metaverse."
Lol that delivery. He was so insulted by that opportunity.

[clownabyss]

"I played computer games back in 2002, when I was just a teenager, that looked better than this" 💀💀

[HilarityBribo]

I always enjoy seeing bad people fail.

[Avalanste]

Imagine spending billions of dollars on producing a multiplayer video game with cheap graphics, and then showing this as a design portfolio to your potential employers.

News - “Look At The Graphics!”
Meta - “Good job, Marketing Team!”

Mark’s biggest mistake is that he insists to be the CEO. He should’ve learnt from google and yahoo owners. Those who invents are not necessarily skilled enough to run the business, plus he actually stole the FB from original owners 😉

[SuperCheesyRobot]

I've been playing games literally my entire life and I have not once been excited or impressed by the idea of the Metaverse. Who even is their target audience?

[frankie]

"they're starting from scratch so of course it's gonna look a little rough around the edges." ...bruh look at any other 3d media that doesn't look like a 2 year old made it, they all "started from scratch" as well lol

[kingarthur]

Its not just about useless graphics...its about a attempt to OWN the internet forcing users to use one platform that tracks and sells your personal data every second you use it like fb did. Its also a attempt to to drop you into a world tgat bombards you with ads...monitisation of everything and isolates people totally from real world...nothing about metaverse makes me want to support it. VR headsets that can be used on all platforms...steam etc...basically whatever you the user want to use it for are great...but being force onto one platform..having to sign into metaverse....nope...dosent appeal at all.

[asecretone]

When the graphics are mentioned on CNBC, you're gonna have a bad day.

[gitknownmedia]

Zuckerberg: “ I have billions of dollars!!”

MetaVerse: looks like 1990’s Mario game 🤣💯

[hoshang]

Whether it's bad or not shouldn't be up for debate, the metaverse should be shunned from all classes of society youth or old. It's absolutely a invention that will harm humanity.

[yougotobct]

Atleast mark Zuckerberg looks more human at that meta game than real life
