We really need to stop this.

OASIS, The Metaverse and The Matrix were all reactions to the tragic collapse of real life society. They were never created as a template for the future of videogames or the internet; they were a satirical future where humanity tries to build a better world and ultimately fails as the virtual worlds have the exact same problems as the real ones.

To put it in classical terms it would be like reading Dante's Inferno and then thinking building your own version of hell was a good idea.

Videogames are great as a temporary escape but sooner or later you have to accept they are just that, grow up and try to build a better real world.
