I played the worst metaverse so you dont have to – Income Island, Scam or not?

I realise now every person who loves these videos and decides to think about who is commenting and the commentary on commenters on their fave YouTube's and realise how scripted and not independently produced they thought their darling was. That's the thought you've got it from here, dear reader

This was an absolute experience to watch hahah

Tell me the word revolution is on bingo boards

The tunnels where great! man I never laught soo much.

Given we're seeing a number of these metaverse scams, and they all look quite similar, I have two theories: Firstly, that these are not even made by the scammers, but rather they're using Fivver or similar to outsource a 'game'. Secondly, that there's a tutorial video or discord or something for "get rich quick by making a metaverse"

That canned background muzak is as bad as the metaverse

The "game" looks like an early VR tech-demo ported (badly) to PC. Putting a drivable vehicle in a game is now so easy, it isnt even remotely impressive anymore.

All that NFT and crypto crap is basically just the same sort of easy money craze as when company shares became a thing or that tulip craze in the 17th century, only with less of a product and way more con men involved

Only Second Life can be considered an established real Metaverse for now, 20 years of evolution and maturity regarding activities, contents and thriving economy

"Buy a plot and asset-flip house with real money and get paid back in no-value crypto that no one uses"

lmao this is even worse than i expected

This could literally be done faster and better in second life

The weird thing is that this Web 3 shit has actually been around even before Web 2.0. I remember some 'social media' VR worlds you could join back in 2000. Damned if I could remember what it was called, but you had 'property' and all that as well (I had a castle called Dol Amroth). You had to use a plugin from Blaxxun in order to render the world.

reason why i remove and disable the Windows Store full of crap

AnimeSHK7685 is an evillain.

They are Tate fans and in Tate land alpha = better. So they probably think the alpha is the more complete version based on that logic. Literally crytobrotards and NOT actual gamers.

Maybe the fact that none of the assets have collision is actually meant as an artistic commentary on the ephemeral nature of the crypto world, where nothing is solid. 😂

Also, damn… idk much about Microsoft Store apps, but let's hope they can't elevate to admin privileges while installing, or that you test out all these scammy apps in a VM or some kind of isolated testing environment. Because what with the whole "obvious total scam" vibe Income Island has going on – that part at 13:58 with the "Internet connection lost" Windows notification really woulda had me nervous that their skeezy app was installing some kind of backdoor crypto miner bot malware on my PC which was screwing with the OS somehow.

> Metaverse game
> Beta
> Single player

🤔

13:38 Well at least the music is good. Though that takes the least effort to program these days

It's like Roblox, but bad

I'm losing my mind looking at the speedo in this car you're driving around. We got from 0 to 20, then 20 to 60 going up by 40 for some reason, then from 60 to 80 so we're back to going up by 20s, then at 100 it starts going up in 50s for some reason and it looks like between 200 and 300 you drop back down to 25.
I also just realised that the frame I've paused it on while looking at the speedo, shows on the actual dial that you're doing about 68 kph, but the big green text at the bottom of the speedo says you're doing 87 MPH!? Where did mph come from? the whole dial is in kph and why is the mph number bigger!? lmfao
