        But it was still owned privately. Ideally, the virtual paradise would use a federation method with an open protocol, so anyone could connect to it.

          It was basically owned by Gaben who died and some other corporation tried to take over Valve.

        I didn’t know that meme, and the original tweet is funny and really hits the nail on the head for a lot of things…

        But from what I’ve seen of the movie, Ready Player One is more like “Please create the Oasis, so that asshole can have fun”.

      Snowcrash was a dystopia too but that didn’t stop tech bros from jerking it to the metaverse.

      I think most govts and corporations see the word “dystopia” and understand “how-to manual”
