Eh, not really. Video game design is hard. You won't succeed trying to make social media into a video game. People like to point to things like Ready Player One, but honestly both the book and the movie's depiction of the game were stupid. They would not work. That's not how games work.

Metaverse is like a video game, except every time you play you are forced to have an awkward family and high school reunion (both at the same time).
