Unless it's a part of meta horizons I didn't know about (which is very possible, I interacted about 3 minutes with it), that particular metaverse might have been some crypto/NFT bullshit rather.

This sounds like something à la "decentraland" a.k.a cryptobros trying to sell plots in a terrible empty virtual world because some day it'll sell for bazillions dollars, trust us.
