In the future you won't just be limited to using the platform specific SDK. For example, this is Cryptovoxels ( @bablyonjs ) running simultaneously with Moonrider ( @aframevr ). This is what takes VR / AR from being an app store to being the next internet. #webaverse #gamedev #webxr

I have a theory why VR people aren't as hype about the Metaverse anymore. It has to do with value alignment. NFT people can and want to own a slice of the future successor to the internet. VR people prob feel like they're building someone elses vision, like the platform owners.
