Furshit is more popular now than it's ever been in its lifetime thanks to social media and its consequences, and about half of the community are either CS nerds with competent programming abilities or admittedly talented artists with a skill which could lend itself well to designing game assets - so how come no group of furries have ever attempted a small-scale MMO where all the playable races could be different furry species, and have extensive enough customization to let most furtwinks recreate their fursonas in-game? It feels like a total no-brainer that could rake in millions from their own suspiciously wealthy demographic, but for some reason I don't think anyone has even attempted or conceptualized the idea in recent years. I know there was Furcadia in the 90's but that was so barebones I'm not sure if it should be counted.
Why do you guys think nobody has pounced on the opportunity yet? At the very least I would expect a Kickstarter scam that proposes the idea and never releases, but there's not even anything like that around.

I was very active back in fandom in the late 90s and there were loads of telnet based rpg like MUDs/MUSHes/MUCKs.
The combat one's with rpg mechanics were less popular than the pure role play ones. Furries back then seemed to enjoy more of a free form roleplay than a structured game for some reason. Probably horny reasons.
That's my guess why ask the furries are on VRchat and make spaces and avatars instead of making a full fledge games.
Edit: frick I can't write a coherent post while stoned
