    Why wouldn’t they have made the simulation awesome for everyone? Of course if you make it shitty some people might start to wonder about battery pod life in the cave.

    Iirc in the first movie they say that the 1st version of the matrix was utopia, but the people got bored and rejected the world

    It was also part of a villain speech, so not a reliable narrator.

    Given that earlier versions of agents were basically supernatural monsters, I kind of doubt it was much of a utopia.
