Blockchains interoperability may be the key to both the macroeconomics of metaverse games and what keeps them fun. If youre not keen on joining Mark Zuckerberg in the Metaverse , I have bad news for you: Youre already there. You dont need a virtual reality headset to enter a virtual world. Humans have been representing reality since our distant ancestors first painted on cave walls. If TV, radio, books or newspapers have ever given you access to events that you did not physically attend, you have experienced a kind of metaverse already. Sport and games are another reality that we often partake in virtually in the stands or behind a screen when not on the field. So, its no coincidence then that, thus far, games dominate what most people understand as the Metaverse, or more widely, Web3 . Our innate love of play, our understanding that fulfilling games depend on rules and structures and our willingness to ascribe value to events that unfold in them are integral to our cultures from soccer to chess to Roblox.

Way back in 2009 the German Green politician Malte Spitz went to court to obtain the data that his mobile phone operator, Deutsche Telekom, held on him and then collaborated with the newspaper Die Zeit to analyse and visualise it. What emerged was a remarkably detailed timeline of his daily life, a timeline that would have been readily available to state authorities if they had come for it with appropriate legal authorisation.
