Mark Zuckerberg obviously did not appreciate all the mockery against him after the publication of his selfie in Horizon Worlds. Many Internet users have pointed to the disastrous graphics of the game that takes place in the metaverse, forcing the billionaire to announce major updates on this point.
It’s a joke that brightened up our last week. The publication, Tuesday August 16, by Mark Zuckerberg of a selfie in the metaverse was accompanied by a plethora of mockery on social networks. And for good reason: the image looks like it’s straight out of a ’90s PC game, and the lack of expression on the billionaire’s face only amplifies rumors suggesting the billionaire is a robot.
To make matters worse, the latter “placed” himself in front of the Eiffel Tower and the Sagrada Família basilica, with the aim of celebrating the launch of the Horizon Worlds platform in Europe. Except that, again, there is something to laugh about. The monuments look neither more nor less than hastily modeled children’s toys. In short, nothing is wrong with this image and, as usual, the Internet has had a field day highlighting it.

“Also, I know the photo I posted earlier this week was pretty basic — it was taken very quickly to celebrate a launch. Horizon’s graphics are capable of so much more, even with headsets on, and Horizon is improving very quickly. » Mark Zuckerberg would he have taken the fly? This is the impression left by this publication, which indeed shows a much more sophisticated avatar and environment. Courage Mark, it was all a joke.
