    The graphics of the Metavers looked like these old badly animated cartoons a few decades ago.

    I mean, I understand why that was the case. Their thought process was probably something like this:

    We can't go for realistic graphics, because we want everyone to join - not just PC graphic enthusiasts with beefy PCs.

    We can't go for a specific art style because again, it should be for everyone.

    This results in boring, outdated looking graphics.

    And for content? They had:

    • chatrooms
    • mini games
    • ads

    Who could have predicted that this would suck? /s
