Which metaverse are you mocking? The web3/blockchain one? The specific Meta one? Or the broader definition which (depending on your precise definition) is doing rather well.
My point is that there's no agreed term. Some people include Fortnite or Roblox. Some people say it has to involve a VR headset (VR Chat still has pretty healthy active user numbers).
So - whether I want to join in with your mirth rather depends which definition of "metaverse" you're mocking.
Tim Sweeney has said things along these lines about Fortnite as have other commentators. Roblox is often compared to RecRoom and Meta Horizons in terms or market share and functionality
What is it you object to about this particular definition? The fact they don't run in a headset? (Roblox now does). What is your definition?
