It's immensely disappointing. It's understandable that platform owners would want to control their platforms content, but deliberately depriving users of alternatives, and refusing to acknowledge the existence of smaller firms, is simply a repeat of past failures of the web and startup cultures. I am not dismissing business requirements or viability. Rather, disappointed that we are seeing so many lines in the sand, so early, rather than bridges and breadcrumbs for others to join. "My way or the highway," is a very old school way of running business, and it will not last. The open metaverse is coming regardless. You'll be able to freely flow around the free and open metaverse, and arrive at the Pearly gates of big-business walled-gardens, and you'll have to login to enter. I don't think many people will mind, but either way, the open and collaborative metaverse is the only true metaverse. Without it, you're building a Video Game, not "a metaverse."
