"Ready Player One" came to my mind. I have never been in/played "Second Life" or "Sims". I bought a PS4 in the hope that "No Man's Sky" would become something like that. It had a disappointing start, and I just ran out of patience (and then time) to see what it has become nowadays.
I would very much enjoy a "Ready Player One" universe with the entrance/lobby of "Wreck it Ralph" where you can jump around (imagine pacman with a fully equipped "Half Life" character ;)
The "buying objects" is the thing that will annoy me, people staying hungry to buy 0s and 1s still doesn't make sense. I understand buying Software, but software is a tool that we use to build something to add value. On a game I don't understand why we need to spend £€¥$100 to "buy" a weapon that does 100 damage instead of 1. (don't tell me demand --> offer, I know what:)
Stories like Ready Player One fall into a Yu-gi-oh kind of trap. They're just playing a game in a world where their game is somehow the center of attention.
It's more like a filter bubble, where the whole world looks like it conforms to your dreams, and is paying attention to you.
