Are video games entertaining? Yes. Thus they aren't pointless.

Can the metaverse be entertaining? Apparently it can be, thus it isn't pointless by the same train of thought.

I tried Second Life twice in about 2006. No interest in revisiting the concept, but obviously it is novel to someone out there. I'll stick to games.

Is music and art thus pointless? Because that's what's inferred here.

I wouldn't even compare the metaverse to music and art.

Anyway some =/= all. Something can be both pointless and entertaining. I'd consider some examples of music and art that are both.
