I'm rather shocked it took this long. But then again, most of it probably depended on having more than 2 people actually logged in.
I could've sworn this was a thing a couple years ago after the whole Metaverse BS was introduced.
EDIT: Yup, there's this instance from a year ago: https://nypost.com/2022/02/01/mom-opens-up-about-being-virtually-gang-raped-in-metaverse/
Even before that I remember the same stupid controversy with Echo VR on Oculus where players were virtually slapping the virtual butts of female avatars so the devs added a privacy zone around players.
