I usd to think ready player one was retarded, but facebook mentioned so many parts of the monetization, that were brought directly from the movie.
Seriously? It's VR. There are programs out there that do all of the mentioned shit without the need to pay for each shirt option...
@LukeAlmighty It's like ready player one but shit
@matrix
So exactly like ready player one 
@LukeAlmighty Well no, because in Ready Player One the VR world was owned by a good guy that blocked any nefarious monetization or privacy intrusions.
@matrix
I am talking only about the movie.
Yeah, it was obviously mentioned, that the bad guy wanted to make it more monetized, but when I saw the movie, I didn't see anything that wasn't a monetization scheme already. It was all artificial money drains.
I might be just reading too many current game mechanics into a dumb movie... But I would HATE to play the game shown in the movie.
@LukeAlmighty I haven't seen the movie, but yeah, the VR world was essentially ancapistan

Basically everyone had access to the same tools and played by the same rules and your avatar was anonymous.
The corporation in RPO wanted a monopoly to milk the economy of the world, sterilize it and tie your avatar to your IRL activities. That's Facebook.
