Okay so I don't know anything about VR games ever since 2018 or something + 2020 Half-Life Alyx but what exactly is VRChat?
From my understanding it's essentially a virtual lobby where players meet with custom avatars and can organize events. It's also a primary platform for many VTubers.

But is it basically the Metaverse done right? Apparently there are lobbies for everything. From night clubs to restaurants to chill maps to (E)RP to even sleeping.

I probably sound like some boomer but I'm actually curious. I feel like such a platform would be much more popular. Is it because VR is a prohibitive barrier for entry? I'm fairly sure you can use it without VR but I suppose the experience is way different.
