On January 20, Ken Kutaragi, founder of Sony’s video game business and father of PlayStation, expressed disapproval of the Metaverse in an interview, saying that it separates the real and virtual realms, rather than unifying the two.
Kutaragi pointed out: “Being in the real world is very important, but the metaverse is about achieving quasi-reality in a virtual world, and I don’t see the point of doing so. Would you rather be a glossy avatar than your real self? This essence It’s no different from an anonymous message board site.”
