Earth 2 Metaverse is more of a joke than we thought...

- You've probably heard about the Metaverse, or "Earth 2" as some call it. But is it really a thing? And if it is, is it worth all the hype? In this video, I'm sharing my thoughts on the Metaverse and whether or not it's worth all the buzz.
Personally, I don't think it's all that great. I think the hype is overblown and the reality doesn't match up. I also think the concept of a Metaverse built on the blockchain is a bit silly. But that's just my opinion. So what do you think? Is the Metaverse a thing, or is it just a joke? Let me know in the comments below!

The idea that Shane took over personally sounds like a threat, not a reassurance.
Hostile takeover to the next level
He already previously announced spearheading the development of their web-based PvP game. Looks like everyone but him is incompetent.
He also said he is filling in as lead developer for a “PvP game loop concept” for E2. I’m guessing he is having issues hiring/keeping devs behind the scenes?

Earth 1 is full of bugs, poorly optimized and is completely unbalanced but Earth 2 is even worse ...
Earth1 have actual content though
@@Zekium That's a very good point.
I want to speak to a senior developer, I have constructive feedback.
Isn't earth 1 abandonware though?
@@xNWDD I mean shovelware for sure, but maybe there’s a modding community for us out there?
"We're not scamming you, we're just wildly incompetent." seems like a wonderful defense.
When they are sooo scamming everyone. ROFL
And a few months later, yet another leader of a failed crypto ventute is going with the exact same excuse!
I mean both are pretty true here
Haven't seen the Earth Sack logo in a while. Glad to see they're making solid progress.
If you mean the solid bricks they're shitting out because they have nothing to show after two years and are actually losing people, then yeah, solid "progress" 🤣
Be a man of your word and stand on the Earth Two logo.
@WickedWiz im excited to see you cover earth 2 when it eventually crashes down and burns to the ground sooner or later:D
Earth 2 video when?
Always happy to see whats going on with Radagast The Shaned
"Our goal is to bend logic to make things interesting," is the best mission statement I've ever heard!
In a different context, this could be a great mission statement for a game studio. Sadly, it came from this dumpster fire company
@@weeznaz8195 Lol if you ask them, they ARE a game company
They are doing that, just not in the way they think.
Sounds like an 80s adventure game.
Ah yes... bend logic to make things interesting... Mhmm.
Lemme just look at literally every video game ever made.
They said the designers overlooked it as if they had been lazy or sloppy, but then they later go on to go "Whoops we only decided later that we needed this thing"
So they decided after it was designed that they wanted to add something, and are shocked that the thing they didn't tell their designers at the time didn't materialize out of thin air?
*PTSD Flashbacks of working in IT for Boomers*
Also, PTSD flashbacks of telling 3rd party coders what I wanted and why, and supplying flowcharts etc, and then a week later comparing their proposed delivery specs with the ones actually given to them.
A software tester walks into a bar...
I think basically what happened is when they made the doc They forgot to include requirements they wanted. They didn't notice this mistake until later. At least that's what I think he is saying. I can't decide whether or not I believe this because he's just this incompetent or whether or not I don't believe this because it's such a ridiculous story
I absolutely adore their use of "custom built" whenever they have to write more than 5 lines of code.
lol now their statements make a lot more sense xD
Does that include the GOTO 10 at the end?
My favorite part about Earth 2 is the fact that it hasn't died yet. I will legitimately miss videos like this.
Earth 1 is better value and has less problems.
And that‘s saying something!
@@ArDeeMee thats saying a lot more than just some thing lol
actually it's worse and has infinitely more problems and it sucks ass but at least it exists soooo that says a lot about earth 2
@@MeanPeePee Dude, my kids definitely DON‘T „suck ass“, so E1 is infinitely superior. 😂

Damn I blame the shadow cabal for everything wrong
me too
Says the demon lord who is probably a part of the shadow cabal. 👀
Yeah, me too.
Which shadow cabal?
@@BrettonFergusoncheck out „josh strife hayes shadow cabal“ quite funny
Maybe they don't just want to recreate earth 1's landmass 1:1 but also earth 1's timeline. So they still have 4.5 billion years to complete it.
I'm so impatient for the dinosaur build ! I feel the need to buy those tiles to see it !
Its not that dire... according to certain fundamentalist sects of Christianity, the earth is only a few thousand years old, so maybe that's their timeline...
@@draculactica but then we'd at least have people around by this time. Not many, sure, but at least some. We should check Iraq and Kuwait on Earth 2 for any mythological gardens.
@@l0rf they decided that, instead of going for a 1:1 scale timeline they go for a 1:1000 Timescale, they are still on the inital 7 days of creation
I love how Shane shifts the blame to the users for “rushing in” and using a feature he has given them. How dare they!
I promised them a thing, they paid for it, I released it, and they expected to be able to use it? On what planet do they live on? Certainly not Earth 2.
I love how you have gone from being like "honestly I want to see you succeed, you're just not doing it" to "look at this absolute clown fiesta jfc"
I've very loosely followed it over the last several months. It's gone from "Maybe these guys are nerds who can't communicate" to "clearly a scam" really fast.
I can't believe there hasn't been lawsuits yet.
I think a good way to tell a scam game is if they have monetization beyond crowdfunding before there is any gameplay. Any game that is selling land, cosmetics, or power before the game is even out is so damn suspect. (looking at you Elyria)
Crowfall too even though gameplay alphas and betas have been going for years, still no sign of release promises, still tons of land packs to buy.
Edit: wow, haven't kept up with crowfall in a while, shit is still fucked garbage.
To be fair though, Gigantic died due to not having this or a founder's pack
*cough*StarCitizen*cough*
Even if scam wasn't original intention the goal of developer becomes milking money off the supporters rather than finishing the game.
Support stuff that you can try out to judge for yourself.
I said the same about ashes of creations and i get flamed instead.
My favorite part about the metaverse is when the metaverse said "it's metaversin' time!" and proceeded to metaverse on everything.
Some multiuser space exists. "Metaverse": Is for me? 😳👉🏻👈🏻
Truly the most metaverse moment of all time
Im not even invested in earth 2, outside of watching the shit show of a ship sink, but I am even curious about raiding. Specifically I am hoping for the most hilarious outcome and that's where "raiding" is actually just Earth 2 having RAID ads xD
The most legitimate partnership they'd ever have!
New Challenge for Callum: How long would it take him to recreate all the current content of E2; tiles, market, gem and mentars, and a random resource map that does nothing.
9 days tops.
There's probably a unity template that does everything E2 does at this point that he could just purchase.
Didn't they do this in discord?
Yep he already did it in discord
How long did it take to do it in Discord?
I don't even think Shane knows what the game is going to be if E2 lasts that long to have gameplay.
At this point its just entertaining watching how badly Shane/E2 can treat their 'investors' without them leaving. Astonishing stuff.
Makes you wonder if Blackrock is indeed forcing the big tech companies to go woke
If you want another shifty NFT project to look into look into moon boi studios. More to the point the way they are building their "game". The contract they are trying to push on junior developers is an unpaid 18 month period of work which doesn't guarantee a job, pay or anything else afterwards.
For people who most likely hate Communism, they sure do love the idea of an unpaid, micro-mis-managed and overloaded workforce under the charismatic leadership of an ultravisionary cabal and/or great leader.
With a studio name like that I don't know why anyone would take them seriously in the first place
@@stealthysaucepan2016 Fresh-out-of-university kids whose teachers have pushed the whole "Web 3 is the future" nonsense into their heads, looking to get into the business by scoring some web 3 experience; Likely growing desperate as time goes on.
@@OzixiThrill Honestly you're not too far off. I've never liked any web 3.0 stuff but when they were the first to respond to any application after months of trying to even get an interview or even a response you take them serious just to get started in any game job you can till you get the job you want. Though no way anyone is working 18 months unpaid.
The pvp "raiding" is referenced to is going to be text-only gameplay. All this time they thought actual gameplay was coming and that's all they are getting. Shane talked about it a couple weeks ago in their Discord. Hilarious to watch them cope and try to make it sound fun when they clearly expected so much more.
Hahahaha copium much
Isn't there a mobile game that does this but better
Text only gameplay? Like those ancient MUD games?
Imagine the sheer levels of cope... holy damn
I was very addicted to earth 2025 back in 1997. Earth 2 is the same thing, apparently.
I think their whole play was to try and get acquired by another company at some point. The problem is that its stupid.
Anyone remember playing eRepublik back around 2009? Shane and his team cant implement a resource system so places that actually have a certain mineral doesn't and they ask people to contact them to correct it which is just insanity since the data is freely online. eRep was made back when people were still running Windows XP or ME and had more in it for a browser game than this joke of a "Matrix" game.
Shane's reaction comparing the IOS/Android appstore royalty system with theirs is another sign he does know f* all about economics.
"they got immediately funged by... Me" made me laugh a lot XD
Earth 2 still stuck in their 0.2 "patch" for the last 2 years, meanwhile Callum is already messing around with UE5 and showing actual progress towards a final product (at least Dream World had a "playable" beta for Callum to break lol)
Considering there's no game, just stacks and tables assigning ownership, 'raiding' is probably going to be an html-click-a-button gapcha thing type of deal that they can buy finished code/implementation for. Congrats to you Callum on the content you'll get from watching their discord trying to deal with the reality of it later on
Waiting for Earth 3 so I can see how many people didn't learn their lesson from Earth 2.
Firstly, After reading Shane’s rules for the Callum challenge, is anyone surprised details were “left out” to devs? Secondly, holo buildings were free to implement weren’t they, they are a free add on for map box.
While I enjoy vids like these very much, Im very interested in the end game. Like when this whole clusterfuck finally blows up in Shanes face, the aftermath is gonna be incredible. Till then, keep em comming Callum. Best wishes.
"100 million raised in 2 years, yet they have nothing to show for it"
Man, I remember making fun of star citizen for raising this amount in 10 years and having "nothing" to show for it.
Apparently this is a whole new category of "nothing".
Yeah. At least SC has buggy tech demos and the ships have actual models (that weren't bought from Unity Asset Store).
@@phosspatharios9680 don't forget technically gameplay too,
whose money is this coming from?
I love Shane´s excuse for the exorbitant amounts of money the developers get for the sales of Holo Buildings.
This implies that all the money they made with the sale of tiles was used up to find already existing functions in Mapbox and Unity and make it look like they worked really hard.
and siphoning sales from user-generated assets and then calling it their own work
They're truly kids on a park, exchanging their parent's valuables for stones and leaves.
I don't think Shane Issac is capable of 'brief'. He could spend 45 minutes ordering his morning coffee
I would say the closest thing to "brief" Shane Issac gets is underwear... but I have a strong suspicion that's wrong.
He doesn't strike me as a "briefs" kinda guy... Commando is probably more likely.
It is simple what RAIDING means. It is a real-life-based, proprietary, groudbreaking, NTF-based implementation of the sucess RPG, RAID Shadow Legends!! :D
A game within the game, in a pop-up window. Just might happen…
They seem to have implemented copium mines well enough. Great progress!
I just love seeing metaverse clowns continue to make the one fuck up after the next one. Their sheer ignorance and stupidity is incredible.
I enjoy these videos that you make Callum. You most certainly have improved over time. Keep it up.
Correction,, royalties don't come standard for NFTs. That it's just something that's possible. The NFT producer has to build royalties into the smart contract. And then the royalty system they use has to be compatible with sellers, which also isn't a given - some sellers don't even do royalties.
So, the royalties thing is . . . what's the word I'm looking for . . . a lie.
13:00 Love the mandatory egg question there on screen, around the middle. What would E2 be without those?
Lmao and love that thumbnail on the video too. X-)
I’ve been thirsting for an E2 update. Thank you.
Hey I gotta admit they actually posted something for the birthday month this year, unlike last year. Granted they're posting about how one of their biggest "developments" in the past year is somehow more dogshit than we thought.
Good lord. I just this video realized they weren't saying "hollow buildings". It had always seemed so apt!
We're 2 on that homie!
It's weird that they put Sydney, Australia on the press release/"update". When their head office is in Brisbane
I sure do hope that this same kind of stuff would not happen to nightmareworld
Nightmare world is already more developed even after a full engine change which somehow kept duke nukem pushed back for a whole decade.
I’m just generally interested in a potential issue with resources and such.
Like, my family owns an old gold mine. It’s not particularly valuable, BUT we do own all the rights to that mine, all mineral rights and such. Now, someone is apparently profiting from OUR land? All the rights I own on my land, and someone else is exploiting MY land for profit?
you don't own the google maps or osm data for your mine. you could own copyright for something that's on the land irl or such I suppose. point is, the earth2 land is neither land nor is it yours. it's like someone wrote a scary story about the mine that's on your land, you don't own the story just because you own some land of it nor does it really matter if the mine even exists in the real world which is where the whole "oh I bought the white house... IN THE METAVERSE" breaks down.. it's a virtual world, the entire virtual world could be inside a virtual snowglobe on the virtual moon that's also inside the virtual snowglobe, it doesn't matter that it couldn't be like that in the real world because it's just virtual - it's just a story in essence in that way.
the whole thing is a dumbf*** idea basically that's why it makes more money when sold as an idea like this and not as the actual finished product, because the VIRTUAL IDEA of e2 can be _anything_ - even logically impossible! if it was a finished software product and a service in the real world it would have to actually be logically possible, but as long as it's just an idea it can be anything a cult member wants it to be.
This gave me a good laugh, thanks as always Callum
I always look forward to a new post on this saga.
November 2. Reassuring when they take the time to proofread the information they send out to those who have given 100million.
Shane could tell the earth 2 people hes making a feature where you can clean up dog mess for $1 a month & they would be excited!
"No, no, no... you've got the concept wrong. We pay _them_ for *_the opportunity_* to have the _privilege_ of maybe being chosen to clean dog mess, and yes, we are *_excited about it!"_*
--Earth 2 playerbase, probably.
@@richardhanck972 😂
I'm really curious how many years it will take for them to realize they've been scammed.
"We're adding raiding to Earth 2!"
Ah yes, raiding... such a clear and not vague concept at all! Are we raiding like the police raid someone's house? Are we raiding like MMO players raid boss's lairs?
The funniest part to me is that no matter the definition, raiding will ALWAYS be built on the core mechanics of the game, and Earth 2 has no game. So I can't possibly think what this update is supposed to actually bring to the table, since multiplying anything by 0 is still 0, and Earth 2 is 0% game.
Even if not deliberate this has gotten so legally questionable its almost worth buying in just for the class action when fucks up
"Our goal is to BEND logic!!!" that right there is red flag #1
The fact that you at times sounds like David Mitchell makes this all so much better.
I enjoyed the editing on this one - looking forward to the next
I'm convinced Shane just "hired" a bunch of interns and they're learning to code as they go along
Everything they claim the game will have is literally what you can do on albion online, claim land with unique resources, mine those resources to barter for other resources.
It would be interesting to see what this 'raiding' would entail. Especially considering that everything has a monetary value tied to real-world value (in theory). Even though the value is very very very little at this point, it is still value. And I wonder if it could be legally consider theft if someone stole things from me which I could've transformed into real world money when I decided to check out.
Disclaimer: I have nothing in E2
No, it‘s not theft, because it is a game mechanic you agreed to. Pretty much how it isn‘t vandalism to blow up someone‘s ship in EVE.
that's the bending of logic.
logically you can't have gameplay where by gameplay any of the stuff bought changes hands, yet they promise along those lines eventually there to be gameplay like that.
@@ArDeeMee Hmm not sure on that. In EVE you can't change your ISK to Dollars by legal means. (afaik it's been a long while since I last played Eve)
The closest you can get is convert it into PLEX.
Money goes in, but you can't extract money (legally)
E2 is based on the idea that money goes and you can extract your 'earnings'.
And so far everything can be traded around. Therefore potentially turned into extractable money.
@@quercuas Has anyone ever managed to get money out of their E2 account? Because in the beginning it just would not happen (because Shaun gotta Shaun)… so the comparison stands. Apart from the fact that EVE is an actual game.
@@ArDeeMee Theoretically it seems to be possible. And it is E2's main selling point. And let's be honest. At this point it's just all conjecture and I was just wondering of the legal rammifications if you could raid someone in this case of their earnings.

Were those NFT trading cards next to the Earth 2 cake? I know how much Callum loves them.
To be fair, they could have created their own shader system. I dont know why they would, but they could....
The most interesting thing i find about all this is that Arya Realty hasn't made a video for 2 months, and his last E2 video was 5 month ago.
Arya Realty:
Arya Broke, yet?
Oh, wanna bet they didn't forget the royalties for creators but just hard coded their own account as recipient? So they "forgot" to make the recipient dynamic and to give themselves their own cut.
A little note: some blog-type themes and systems handle dates for posts automatically. That weird date format might be because of their theme.
Someone learned from Star Citizen.
Idiots will shell out cash for things that aren’t real and don’t even exist.
If you go back and listen to the clip that was played close to the beginning of the video they no doubt gave away their entire plan for this project. Go back to around 10 seconds into the video and it states that their goal is to "Bend Logic." Well...congratulations... you have succeeded!! Not only when it comes to this nightmare of an idea but to reality itself.
Good luck Dr. Who.... your going to need it!
Love this E2 content! What a trainwreck this has been and it's only getting worse!

@@ssvensic in some ways yes. I just enjoy the free entertainment we've gotten for years.
I just got a dreamworld ad on this video which has me cracking up.
So what would stop them from assigning resources to people owning tiles THEY, want to have said resources in the first place?
IE corporate fraud, laundering and price hiking?
A hundred million, that’s insane!
Great vid, and so good to hear that E2 continues to outdo itself. So I guess they're "hollow buildings" because they're designed to suck money out of the wallets of the owners/designers?
So glad I discovered you during that sausage fest in New World chat when you did that video with Josh. My god this is hilarious XD
With Apps on the app store, multiple people can purchase the app and/or in-app-purchases, watch ads, etc
Allegedly these are NFTs, so you're only going to sell it once. Even if you get royalties from future sales, it's not going to be re-sold nearly as often as apps can generate revenue.
2 major problems with Shane's "counter argument":
-First, the Google and Apple stores can justify that fee by having a massive customerbase. When thousands of people are guaranteed to see your product, that cut is worth it; In fact, that cut is paying for access that customer base. Shane has nothing of the sort to compare.
-Second, we're talking about something similar to royalties here, not a single sale. The models they are selling can be resold and from each and every one of these sales, Earth 2's team takes a 5% cut. If these things change hands 6 times, the other online store's cut is immediately lower than what Earth 2 takes from the creators.
Even a single one of these is enough to conclude that, even assuming that Shane is trying to make the best thing he can, Earth 2's team have made a wrong move.
Wait, they've not added ANYTHING since the last time I saw this?! Man, Star Citizen is gonna' be out by the time Earth 2 gets its first feature.
I love these Earth 2 videos! Thanks, Man!

The one thing Earth 2 had done is a rather cute Birthday artwork. I wonder who the artist is.
I enjoy the criticism of a train wreck where the conductor is insisting train is operating as expected.
We should take a moment to thank each and every wonderful person who has poured money into Earth 2. Their financial sacrifice has bought us all so much entertainment laughing at this absolute shitshow and I'm so glad we can.
Ah, the Shadow Cabal is at work again!
Disney’s Hotel looks great to have on Earth2! 😍🙈 Parks to enjoy are big incomes I guess in earth2 soon.
Its really sad all around but certain people are going to run themselves into the ground no matter what. There is nothing for it but, its interesting to watch.
Raiding is obviously going to be like Conan Exiles purges. That being NPC enemies spawn, destroy your holobuildings/blueprints so you have to buy them again and draining whatever resources are on your land so you have to pay to get prospected again, and then you go back on a timer until the next raid.
So a seller gets royalties for each time a building is sold, like a down line. Earth 2 is literally an mlm.
E2 is my favourite cryptoscam story. I enjoy this videos a lot :D
