Its just dumb regardless of torment nexus status, people explore their favorite stories by consuming those stories in their intended form, and if they "explore their favorite IPs" then they are a hog, but hog status aside they usually also consume it in the form of actual media or physical spaces like a theme park or whatever.
Physicality matters! People don't generally actually like things that attempt to reproduce the experience and limitations of physical space without being actually physical, if it's not real then it should just be a website.
But on the topic of the torment nexus, if someone tells you ready player one was a cautionary tale or whatever they are dumb or lying, that shit worships IP masturbation so incredibly hard, the whole plot is about making the metaverse cool and awesome by taking it away from centralized corporations(in a dumb crypto guy way.)
I made a big entrance when I arrived in my flying DeLorean, which I’d obtained by completing a Back to the Future quest on the planet Zemeckis. The DeLorean came outfitted with a (nonfunctioning) flux capacitor, but I’d made several additions to its equipment and appearance. First, I’d installed an artificially intelligent onboard computer named KITT (purchased in an online auction) into the dashboard, along with a matching red Knight Rider scanner just above the DeLorean’s grill. Then I’d outfitted the car with an oscillation overthruster, a device that allowed it to travel through solid matter. Finally, to complete my ’80s super-vehicle theme, I’d slapped a Ghostbusters logo on each of the DeLorean’s gull-wing doors, then added personalized plates that read ECTO-88.
