The European Union spent $410,000 on a metaverse party, but only 6 people showed up Netizen: Are you sure this isn’t a joke?
Embarrassed, he spent nearly three million yuan on a party in the metaverse.
As a result, only 6 people came.
This is the real experience of a brother reporter who attended the metaverse concert organized by the European Union at a cost of 410,000 US dollars.
I thought this conference wanted to attract young people from 18 to 35 years old, but I didn’t expect how to say the final feeling, it’s probably this:
Derek and Pilar chatted for a while. Nick and I exchanged ideas. Then we all went home.
As soon as this experience was shared on the Internet, it immediately sparked heated discussions: it seemed like a joke.
Some netizens said, how did you spend so much money? This isn’t the metaverse at all, it’s an unreal page game.
A million dollar party with only 6 people
This event is actually a “beach party”, as you can see in the 30-second preview released in October this year, there are tropical rainforests, sea islands…
There are also a variety of entertainment activities, accompanied by dynamic background music ~ it should sound very lively.
But it didn’t arouse too many splashes at the time, even insiders weren’t too impressed with this trailer and even sneered:
Frustrating and embarrassing.
Digital garbage.
The campaign was originally intended to appeal to a young audience aged between 18 and 35, who are often active on social networks, and encourage them to participate in a wider range of activities.
The theme of the event is to launch and publicize the EU’s “Global Gateway” strategy.
According to the official introduction, they have specially created a metaverse where people can explore the meaning of Global Gateway through a series of “heroic” stories in a virtual environment.
After landing, everyone will become like a colorful paper clip. In addition to dancing and social entertainment on the beach, a variety of themed activities have also been staged, such as digital connection, education, health care and climate change .
And this combination of production and operating costs reached 387,000 euros.
Such a huge amount of money was spent, and as a result, in this little brother’s feelings, the experience was rather poor. He found it much easier to strike up a conversation by dancing and waving.
And the so-called concert is actually a song played on a loop. One participant thought he got the date wrong.
Netizen: How is it different from Second Life?
Some netizens thought that this could not be produced by Meta, after all, Meta’s strength was there before. (bushes)
As a result, the little brother quickly denied the rumors and they subcontracted to Journee, a company that builds a digital space.
Looking at the official website, it’s really the same style.
