Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

https://www.cryptovoxels.com/ might be the closest thing today, but, it relies on the ethereum blockchain and is very NFT oriented.
You can enter their virtual world without a login, in a web browser, without using any cryptocurrency, however (i did it once).
I don't know much about it but my understanding is that the long-term game state (eg, who has what items, and what virtual real estate (unreal estate?)) is all kept on-chain, which is rather absurdly expensive, but the minute-to-minute state must be just on their centralized server. However, I think that (in theory at least) if the people operating the centralized infrastructure disappeared today that others could run gateways to the same gameworld state tomorrow. Maybe.
My investment advice is to not invest in this.
Sounds like a problem looking for a problem. (Good advice)
