Exactly. The virtual world is still a dystopia that just looks like paradise. It's a virtual world that is designed specifically to introduce scarcity so it can be monetized. You can be anyone and do anything... As long as you can afford it.

It's got all the same problems as the real world, but some people can be Ultra Man or something if they're rich.
