I don't think so. If people wanted these types of digital experiences there would already be an established market for them. Sure VR is more immersive but people will still expect experiences outside the norm of day to day life. Once the novelty wears off nobody is going to want to sit in a metaverse bar, go to a metaverse festival, or do their shopping in the metaverse. People will want to have adventures, to steal cars, to have fights and shoot people. They'll want the type of excitement that they cant get in everyday life. Probably you'll be able to watch concerts in VR. That demand clearly exists in the form of recorded concerts. But there is no demand for a Glasto 'wandering around stoned' sim or most of these other metaverse ideas.
