Those who want it have been using it for 20 years already with Second Life. Oddly enough, none of these new metaverse makers take any lessons learned from that but I guess then they would have to admit that VR is crap that nobody needs for immersion.
I like vr. 😿
There are dozens of you! Dozens!
Lol I remember Napster for downloading music damn I'm old.
Holy hell, Napster is a (legal) subscription music streaming service! Crazy times we live in.
Napster... Sorry, who??
They're still around??
🤷♂️
They aren’t really, some crypto bros just bought the name and stuck it to this pile of horseshit, presumably in the hopes of making some money off of idiots.
It's impressive and somewhat concerning what people will pay for a name. Historic as it is Napster died long long ago
I’ll go fire up limewire now. Be right back.
Only for the Metaverse? Ha! Guess I won't be using Napster.
Yeah, next year they'll go after NFTs then a year after that they'll all in for AI.
Mm. Nah. I'm just confused who this is supposed to be for: people who used Napster for free music or people who say "what's a Napster?"
TIL Napster still exist. I thought it got shut down in the early 2000's?
It did, but the branding got sold a few times and is now in the hands of some crypto company.
Obligatory, FUCK YOU Lars Ulrich!
I doubt anyone will use this except for crypto bagholders who have no interest in music (or anything really) and are just looking to dumb their bags the next mark.
How the mighty have fallen.
maybe lars ulrich was right after all
