These metaverse ads are everywhere in london at the moment

An ad on a digital billboard in a London Underground station. The ad headline says "The metaverse may be virtual but the impact will be real", and the image shows a young person in the cockpit of a space shuttle, looking out at a starscape.

I just feel like they're missing something important

The same metaverse ad but I've added a "Not gameplay footage" disclaimer to it

We've all seen inside the metaverse, the models are all legless untextured sub-Mii looking meeples and the environments look like Second Life fifteen years ago, so why do they get to use these high-res renders on their posters when every videogame trailer has to clearly flag which parts are and aren't what you can actually expect from the experience
