It's oddly not true for previous attempts at the thing, though - Second Life was not very popular. (I think because originality is too much effort and the client performance was poor)

Also, previous metaverses were only popular among specific demographics, like perverts/furries, or suburban teenage boys.

I in large part owe my adult software career to being an asocial, weird kid who learned Lua around ~9-10 from spending all their free time scripting random things in a 3D environment in Second Life's Lua dialect, LSL.

Really funny feeling, the sort of butterfly effect/unintended consequences.
