    motherfuckers could probably have ended hunger in their country for that kind of money.

    that’s how much of a piece of shit this pedophile nazi is.

    Hilarious that this company is now named after a failed product. It would be like if Ford changed it’s name to Pinto.

      Gotta pad that balance sheet with losses. Can’t be paying taxes if you can write off speculative ventures that just might pay off fund other misadventures.

    For everyone who never tried it, they had honest to god paid employees in Horizon Worlds to help players get oriented. I cannot imagine a worse job.

    The one I ran into was standing in front of some “game” experience that was like…jumping on tiles or some shit.

    But I thought the whole line was “hOrIzOn WoRlDs iSnt the MeTaVeRsE.”

    Followed by no explanation of what the metaverse is.

    Buying real estate in the Metaverse used to be compared to buying land on the moon. But Zuck can’t turn off the moon, so it’s arguably a better investment.

    Not only was the entire project thing a completely repulsive, uncanny mess, but also they could’ve just bought roblox for half that amount which is effectively the closest thing to a “metaverse” but ig zuck ego wouldn’t allow that

      That’s a very good question. How do you spend $80billion?
