I mean, the same thing is being said about the Metaverse today. I get the hate for the corporate dystopian ones, but it does not mean it will just fade away. The Metaverse, or really many of them as they are decentralized, are still being incubated, but they are coming and some are being very well received for those who seek them out.

    Why are we calling it the metaverse when things like VR chat existed long before Meta came into the picture

    What is another term for the category? There are many other terms of course, but Metaverse does indeed appear to be the one that has caught on. VR Chat is one of this category, but the category is so much bigger than social focused Metaverses, like a Metaverse Theme Park or Metaverse Mini Golf Metaverse. There are many of these things being developed, including many social focused Metaverses too, some dystopian.
