It’s really interesting, I’ve done research on that. “Metaverses” used to be known as basically online multiplayer. So MMORPG’s, online chat rooms, etc. basically anything that enabled online communication between large groups of people. it’s only recently that companies like Facebook have tried to define it in this weird new way.

I don’t profess to know much about the modern definition. I’m just pointing out how it was referred to in the late 90s, early 2000s.
