It's a vaporware tech bubble like 3D TVs, AR, ARGs, or the last several VR hype cycles. We used to have these more often. Back in the early 2010s, every stupid tech idea was a "revolution" with its own pile of proponents and grifters. But it's been a hot minute, so I've forgotten all the better examples.
As far as bubbles go, I think it'll be a particularly large one, perhaps so large it does funny things in the real world. It's also kind of structurally interesting, if you're a nerd about the anatomy of bad ideas. But definitely just another piece of vaporware in the end.
I don't think ARGs are really a tech bubble. They happen sometimes and sometimes they don't. They're less trendy now, but still happen. Not really sure how you'd turn a massive profit off of them.
