Mark Zuckerberg may want us to delve into his metaverse, but a PC building company called Meta isnt all that interested.
Meta PC is a gaming manufacture based in Phoenix, Ariz. that sells custom desktops, laptops, and other hardware peripherals. Joe Darger and Zack Shutt, the companys founders, have been operating as Meta PC for over a year now and applied for the Meta trademark back in August, TMZ reported Monday. The duo doesnt own the name yet, but theyre still ahead of Zuckerberg.
However, Darger and Shutt are willing to part with the name if Zuckerberg forks over 20 million in cash. That might sound like a steep asking price, but Meta PC will have to rebrand everything if a name change happens, which is quite an expensive process.
Meta PC took to social media to meme about the whole situation, which you can check out below.

20 million? Facebook can afford to pay more than that.

Meta PC can't make their case blurring the line themselves.
