Visionary futurist and creator of the groundbreaking franchise Ready Player One Ernest Cline envisioned a future forever changed by technology in his best-selling novel and the Academy Award nominated blockbuster film adaptation that followed, amassing a global fan base and inspiring the transition from science fiction to reality.

we heard a lot of companies going about how their metaverse will be the future we've been promised for so long, but this truly sounds like a game changer, can't wait!

[@FPdesignfab]

Ready Player One yes! but don’t forget Snow Crash! ;) Read it 3 times in the 90’s and 2000’s.

Same

[@Seriouslydave]

If corporations are going to lose revenue who will pay for the servers? Who will pay for maintaining and support? The users? It would be a large subscription cost.

[@joshuaanderson1852]

Agreed. If the goal is convergence, then having in place the infrastructural means of making the Readyverse subscription-free would be an essential component. Nobody’s going to pay a subscription to go shopping, for example.
EDIT: Counterpoint: Sam’s Club.
