People don't associate Fortnite with that due to the main game being just pvp instanced deathmatches. But it is, by far, the most comprehensive example of what a corporate * metaverse would look like, specially now that they have their creative mode or whatever it's called.
*I know something like VR Chat or your favorite MMO with housing is closer to what people would want or imagine the metaverse to be, but that's not what the buzzword is for the suits.
Roblox seems to fit that more than a pvp death match game with some events tacked on.
And don't forget minecraft where they made the entire earth https://buildtheearth.net/
Or Second Life, which was explicitly intended as an implementation of the original concept, and is sorta-kinda-almost decentralized. It just turns out to be a so-so idea because the original concept was a punchline.
It's not just some events tacked on. I'm pretty sure you can create your own game experiences inside of Fortnite much like Roblox.
