Surely the masses of VR users won’t succumb to a virtual world that limits itself by requiring users to pay for digital land. Isn’t VR’s strongest aspect the ability to move past physical restraints? In VR, “space” is infinite. The idea of real estate, outside of a specific gaming environment, makes little sense in the virtual world. Perhaps that’s what decentraland is meant to be, a game.

Perhaps these virtual real estate plays will work out, but my money is on a decentralized metaverse where user’s choose their limitations via the worlds they spend their time in.

Happy to see Decentraland is brewing excitement, but it is one piece of a much larger puzzle.
