Over at Gizmodo there’s a great piece titled “Virtual Cringe: The 10 lamest brand stunts in the Metaverse.” Included in the slide show that accompanies it are such stunning wonders as... A VR Gucci bag that costs more than a real Gucci bag!!! A virtual grocery store where you can buy... Pretzels!!! And one to be avoided at all costs... A Chase Metaverse bank. Sadly, you can’t do any actual banking there, at least not yet. For now, it’s just a lounge where you can... look at a digital portrait of Chase CEO Jamie Dimon who trousers (real, not virtual) $35 million a year and has a net worth of $1.8 billion.
And it ain’t virtual.
