As gavin said it's an all encompassing term for "completing" games as fast as possible under xyz criteria.
Some take hours when they are 100% completing a game without any use of bugs or glitches.
If you guys want to see the level of autism these people have, watch this 30 minute video about speedrunners trying to master a single glitch in one level of Mario 3;

Camping raster for 30 hours doesn't compare to spending hundreds of hours with laser sharp focus trying to master a pixel perfect jump.

I world firsted so much shit on EQ2, and even I don't remember most of it. A lot of us wasted a lot of years on MMO's. While we joke about it I'm pretty sure a good percentage of this board probably is actually autistic.

The massive virtual world based on Ernest Cline’s novel “Ready Player One,” and the subsequent Steven Spielberg-directed 2018 film, is trying to become real.
AI and metaverse technology and content company Futureverse has announced the formation of Readyverse Studios, a studio co-founded by Cline and film producer Dan Farah.
Readyverse Studios has also officially partnered with Warner Bros. Discovery to exclusively bring the “Ready Player One” franchise to the metaverse across web3.
Readyverse Studios will also maintain exclusive web3 rights to all future intellectual property created by Cline. The company expects to launch this year and in a statement says:
“Ready Player One,” which starred Tye Sheridan, grossed $583 million at the global box office.

They could just be using the generic term metaverse that existed before Zuck. Or maybe they license pieces of the tech out. I haven’t cared enough to research it much.

Zuck is still all in on his idea of metaverse. Watch the recent Lex Freidman interview inside the metaverse. They did cut a large number of positions for whatever the Wall Street version of virtue signaling is, but they're quietly still hiring.

The tech that will be the foundation for such a VR world won't exist for 20 years. Zuck simply wants to own the pre-foundation in hopes of being the final winner when virtual world development is achievable. Vaporware for now, domain name camping in essence, so hopefully whoever does it decades down the line gives him or his successor the middle finger.

He'll be dead before then.
No one wants his vision. Why do I want to 'virtually' walk in a store, versus buy the item I want in one click? Why do I want to virtually 'walk up' to a person at work to ask them a question, versus send them a message? Why do I want to virtually walk over to a 'movie theater' to watch a movie, instead of just putting it on my TV, or even just right in the headset.

Uh… it’s all fake and gay, but to be fair I think all of that garbage is just some initial bullshit with the goal being Star Trek holodeck shit, no? I don’t think he wanted to just make life with extra steps.

Right but that's kind of my point, he'll be long dead before VR is anything but a gimmick.
