    Y Combinator probably didn’t do their due diligence

    It’s not the first time. They also backed an obvious scam MMO that promised the world and more, while it was nothing more than an asset flip.

      I heard that the creator of the MMO had people they knew within ycombinator at the time. I wonder if it’s something similar this time around. Eitherway, it’s not a good look for ycombinator

        Is that the MMO where they read Ready Player One and said “Yep, I’m ready to build a mesh peer-to-peer MMO because that means there will be no discernable lag for an infinite number of people, just like in the book”?
