as far as VR interaction with other’s avatars for the purposes of social interaction? Nope.

Except vrchat is actually HUGE. Now I'm sure the metaverse could never have unseated it as #1, but it could have been a thing if zuck actually made it not look like shit and didn't try to commodity the hell out of it.

Don't forget that it took, what, 1 week after release for someone to "grope" a journalist avatar and have meta desperately try to patch out shitty human behavior, removing avatars' hips and legs and forcing them to stay 1.5m away from each other at all times

I feel like Rec Room solved this issue ages ago.

Vrchat exists because of porn, mostly. If metaverse added big tiddy avatars it probably wouldn't have failed as hard.

Vrchat exists because of porn

That's a weird take. I've played VRchat for around 100 hours, of which most was spent just bullshitting around and randomly inserting yourself in conversation that can go on for hours. Never noticed any porn rooms or whatever you meant by that, but I guess we have different goals in games
