It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Metaverse
summary
Ready Player Me describes a pivot from hardware scanners to a cross‑platform avatar service now used by 4,000 companies to import consistent avatars into games and virtual worlds; it opens an avatar marketplace so creators sell virtual fashion once per‑world deals disappear. The Sandbox reboots a mobile creator game into a blockchain metaverse since 2017, reporting 4.3 million users with a wallet, ~230 builder studios, 23,000 land owners and claims creators keep 95% of revenue for interoperable NFT assets.
