Agreed. I felt like I needed a "Meta's Metaverse Bingo Card" throughout the whole article too. When it started off whining about legs I almost stopped reading bc come on we've had various styles and kinds of avatars in games the entire time they've existed and not having legs in VR games is very common and really NOT that jarring. Then the author continued on to talk about it being empty and do the Facebook...er Meta thing and while I really dislike Facebook/Meta all those things just meant the tone for this article was going to feel like some cringey magazine author trying to seem relatable and going in with a bias.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending any of the metaverse branding crap but your point about this just being the same stupid scripted article about Horizon Worlds is accurate and I'm not sure how this reached the front page.
