165434803 story What do you when people hate your $10 billion selfie? "Mark Zuckerberg, in response to a torrent of critical memes mocking the graphics of Meta's newest project, has heard his critics — and changed his selfie," reports CNN:
Zuckerberg debuted Horizon Worlds, a virtual reality social app, in France and Spain earlier this week, sharing a somewhat flat, goofy digital avatar in front of an animated Eiffel Tower and la Sagrada Família. The internet immediately mocked what many users saw as preliminary graphics for a venture that Meta has spent at least $10 billion on.
Kevin Roose of the New York Times said the graphics were worse than a Wii game. The term "cheek butts" was used. An international laughing stock popped up on the social media site. Many pointed out how lifeless and childish the selfies looked. It was called dead eyes quickly.
Well, Zuckerberg has apparently seen the memes, because on Friday he announced there are major updates coming — along with new avatar graphics.
In a CNBC report on how Zuckerberg "is getting dragged on the internet for how ugly the graphics of this game are," they'd actually quoted a Forbes headline that asked, "Does Mark Zuckerberg not understand how bad his metaverse is?"
