That’s the appeal of virtual realms: They're places where power can be inverted, disappointments escaped, and capitalist inequities left behind for something more exciting, malleable, and meaningful.
While definitions of it vary, here are some basics about the metaverse: It’s actually many metaverses, or digital spaces, which typically are decentralized, incorporate augmented and virtual reality, store information on blockchain, and allow users to own digital goods. So like “the internet,” the term “the metaverse” describes a sprawling network of sites and spaces.
This opens a whole new world of possibilities. Terry and Keeney point to Roblox as an example of what’s to come. On it players design games and spaces, and people gather for events in a way that they can’t on social media sites. Keeney worked with Paris Hilton to build Paris World on Roblox, where she threw a New Year’s Eve celebration that drew more attendees than Times Square’s did. “This is the future of partying,” she tells the authors.
The message, it seems, is that while users got the short end of the stick on the old web, where they traded their data for free search engines and social media platforms, they are renegotiating that deal. “Play becomes labor that produces assets worth something within that dApp ,” write Hackl, Lueth, and Di Bartolo.
