SecondLife still exists, it’s economy works fine, and it demonstrates very well that user-generated 3D worlds are awful for graphics framerate optimisation, which happens to be absolutely vital in VR headsets.
Not sure where you are (lots of places use $), but it’s been many many years since I used cash for anything, and it’s probably the same for anyone below retirement age in UK/Europe?
