The Demise of the Metaverse: Challenges and Controversies.

Meta has announced that creators using its Horizon Worlds social VR playscape will no longer be able to make dedicated events, a feature that has been shut down as part of the platform's v109 update notes. The change will make things even more challenging for creators who are investing in Meta's metaverse vision. Meta is positioning the change as the shutdown of a feature that doesn't meet its standards, but some creators hoped would someday see improvements.
