The oddest thing I don't understand about the metaverse is the fact it already exists.
Examples listed above like Roblox, and more classical examples like Second Life aren't fundamentally different than the "metaverse".
Throwing blockchain, NFTs and VR ontop of those concepts doesn't actually change them from the general idea of a "virtual world".
