I suppose if (insert luxury fashion label here, let's say... Gucci) has an online store on Zuckverse, and also has one on TimCookVerse (where the plebian green bubble people don't come), they would allow owners of virtual Gucci bags free copies of their virtual bag on 2 different platforms.
Yeah, it's a ridiculous idea of the future, where people who currently walk around with $5000 purses ($20 for the utility of "it carries my things", $4800 for the brand name) will in the future be pixels on your VR googles walking around with $5000 pixel representation of purses, which you can right click, click "Properties" and confirm the digital certificate of. I've so far been an NFT-ignorant, but are those NFT exchanges the ones who want to be the digital certificate authorities? Couldn't Zuck or Cook just roll out their own?
They absolutely will roll their own and charge Gucci for the privilege. There's plenty of historical precedent. The Sims Online somewhat controversially contained McDonalds kiosks, paid for by McDonalds.
Yeah. I imagine there being "metaverse clients" that don't enforce any NFT DRM and will allow you to copy whatever 3D asset you see as well. I would definitely connect with a jailbroken client / choose the "Indie Metaverse" in which none of the NFT nonsense is enforced.
Joining an indie metaverse seems like insanity, I'd rather just keep socializing in the real world. Damn, have I reached "Get off my lawn"-age?
The rich and famous would still hang out in the "officially sanctioned" metaverse(s) though, but I guess going into the indie ones would be like going to the dodgy parts of town. Where the famous Hollywood/Netflix/Onlyfans/Twitch stars have alternative logins to go incognito.
And maybe the sanctioned metaverses will have exploits so "hackers" can still participate in it. My imagination of this future is a lame imitation the Matrix movies.
