(…) He set up the servers and the platform, added a Mii and some 3D clip arts, and is completely relying on his users to create 100% of the high-quality content.
The head of Steam also has his own opinion on the metaverse. He believes that many people who are now talking about the metaverse have no idea, he said. They probably have never played an MMO.

Mark Zuckerberg, the head of Meta and Facebook, has shown a picture from his big metaverse game. However, users are disappointed and astonished. Because Facebook’s metaverse looks quite ugly.
What is it about, exactly? Facebook has been developing its own metaverse for a few years now. The metaverse is thought of as a “virtual universe where people and companies are visually represented and interact with each other and conduct business.” (via pcgamer.com).
Horizon Worlds is supposed to be Facebook’s game where you can meet friends and wander through the world with your own avatar and is supposed to provide just such a metaverse.
However, there was loud criticism of the project right from the start. It simply does not look nice, and many wondered where all the money was going that the parent company Meta was putting into this project.
After all, Facebook is said to have invested about 10 billion euros in the project. Yet even small indie projects look graphically much more appealing. With his latest screenshot from Horizon Worlds, Zuckerberg has caused a stir again.
Zuckerberg shows screenshot, but it horrifies many gamers
What kind of picture is it? The picture shows Mark’s avatar with lifeless eyes in an empty landscape, which is only inhabited by a small version of the Eiffel Tower and the Tibidabo Cathedral in Barcelona.
And exactly this picture leaves many users astonished. Or as PCGamer puts it somewhat sarcastically: “All that [Horizon Worlds] has to offer is a Zuckerberg with a baby doll face hovering in front of a miniature Eiffel Tower.”
Why is everyone talking about “Second Life”? Many users compare Zuckerberg’s project to “Second Life.” This is a game developed by Linden Lab. They originally released the game in 2003 under the name Linden World. Here you can also create your avatar and wander through a digital world, meet people, or create things.
And many people explain that even the nearly 20-year-old game looks better than what Zuckerberg is showing on his screenshot and is so enthusiastic about. The community is also not holding back.
How does the community react? The community is reacting quite astonished about what can be seen there. After all, this metaverse that Zuckerberg is showing could still become a reality.
After years of development and much invested money, more was expected. A user on reddit mocks:
It looks like Mark Zuckerberg watched Ready Player One and thought he could recreate this universe with MS Paint.
