If they mention it at all, it'll be in the context of the C-suite envy about the money being made with Fortnite skins and "virtual assets", resulting in galaxy brain ideas like "buy land in the metaverse" or "own rare art with NFTs".

It can always have a second life.

And the blockchain.
I do not think historians will write about the metaverse at all.
Maybe it'll be a case study in business schools for a while, but I think that'll be the extent of its legacy
