Building a Rich & Vibrant Metaverse Economy with Jon Radoff - Step into the Metaverse Podcast: EP02

The real thing that games have done is trained people on how to exist in virtual space and express themselves and form social connections and treat their social connections with people as real. I don't like to talk about actually virtual versus real. I think about virtual versus physical because I think both are real. Our conversation right now is a real connection, even though we're on opposite sides of the planet, and people may not have been ready for these technologies if they hadn't become accustomed to it through the acculturation that has been happening in games and virtual worlds now for several generations, and particularly the last couple of generations since 2000 or so.
