GTA V appears to be a very popular multiplayer game, so if a metaverse could have GTA V graphics and multiplayer performance then surely some GTA like activities could be implemented.

Which raises question of why people should not just simply play GTA, doesn't it?

I can play GTA on my Xbox for 3 hours. On an Oculus, my head hurts after 20 minutes.

But there appear to be no real use cases other than gaming?

And that’s a narrow subset of a subset of just single market.

It seems that Facebook was aiming at something bigger than that but they actually couldn’t even offer a coherent argument on what VR could offer outsiders of gaming.

> ... surely some GTA like activities could be implemented.

Running over people in cars? Who would be the players to volunteering to being ran over?

I mean, I don't play GTA, so there's that? And if I did play GTA I would... I don't know... play GTA, rather than playing a less interesting version of GTA.

Watch what people do in game lobbies like Fortnite, which are a bit of an open world: mindlessly destroy things, troll other people, show off superficial things like dance moves. A metaverse needs a bit more purpose, and constraints - a theme, or something that people strive for, or competition.
