A company called Meta that isn't Facebook is willing to sell the name for a hefty price

Mark Zuckerberg may want us to delve into his metaverse, but a PC building company called Meta isn’t 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 company’s 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 doesn’t own the name yet, but they’re 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.

Funnily enough, because of Facebook’s rebranding, Meta PC has seen a 5000 percent increase in followers across social media. Darger and Shutt are undoubtedly the underdogs in this story, so hopefully, everything works out for them!

Facebook, er, Meta has made significant strides within gaming recently as Resident Evil 4 VR  is receiving rave reviews, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas VR  is coming too.
