Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg says “Metavers” is the future, and it will naturally be associated with meta products like social networks and virtual reality. If there is any indication of the company’s own Horizon Worlds, it seems that Metaverse will have a high fee. Meta recently revealed how it will help sell user-created content in the VR experience, and will leave manufacturers with only half the money left after cutting the meta. The future is starting to look like a worse version of the past.
Zuckerberg’s obsession with the concept of Metavers stretched back many years, and there is no doubt that Facebook (now Meta) has influenced the companies it has acquired and the technologies it has followed.

All purchases at Horizon World, and possibly future VR experiences, will be limited to the world in which it was purchased. You will also make that purchase with the account information associated with your Facebook / Meta account. So, prices should be shown in your local currency, excluding future cryptocurrencies, Facebook Gold, or whatever else they plan to collect more revenue from each user.
Current sales tools are limited to a small group of manufacturers, and Meta says it will monitor responses to refine the system. Hopefully, this involves a higher fee revaluation, which Zuckerberg himself has protested against in the past. Although, he was talking about fees Others Platform
