A billion person VR MMO? Do I hear a Facebook stock offer coming up? Seriously though, they must be stretching the concept of an "MMO" pretty fucking thin here. I mean, technically you can call Farmville an MMO I guess, but I doubt 99% of Farmville users know what MMO stands for or how to describe it, while at the same time, I have a felling that most MMO users like the good folks on this board would defiantly not classify Farmville as an MMO, let alone whatever the fuck it is the OR PR guys are thinking off.
And while sure, a true VR MMO might be interesting, I doubt it will get more than a few million subs, at the very best it will be of a similar size as WoW is/was, but that's really fucking stretching it - at least the first few iterations. After all, "regular" MMOs had been going on for over half a decade once WoW was released so I'd expect similar small scale (sometimes failed) attempts before we see anything in the millions of users, let alone billions.
And on top of all that, think of WoW back in the day with 12 odd million users, and all the god damn mouthbreathing trolling fuckups who could ruin your day who were playing then, now multiply that by 100. You're really scraping the barrel now. Yeah... I think I'll pass.
