If Metaverse flops what happens to the name?

Metaverse won't be going anywhere unless it directly targets a profit making plan.

How about amateur making of eye-candy 3D/VR videos for a Tik Tok like platform? Maybe. Make a profit selling the recording hardware/firmware/software and the viewing glasses.

How about games? That could be big - the world wide game market is worth 230 billion a year.

Of course a prerequisite is that the glasses can be worn comfortably for extended periods without headaches or causing degraded vision. And that's not at all a given.

If Metaverse flops then the company will have to rename again. Google at least had the foresight not to use the name of a project which didn't work out.
