    Hey i like vr, I think it’s neat that we had a billionaire pour liquid money on it and make a shit ton of r&d, even if it still hasn’t become a breakthrough killer platform.

    I think it shows spine… Or something.

      I like VR too! But all those billions aren’t going into R&D, they are going into their shitty “metaverse” & exclusivity deals for VR content providers. Meta is just trying to capture the VR market before it properly gets going, so they have a revenue stream like Google & Apple.

      That’s very bad for the future of VR. If they succeed, it will massively dampen the market of possible ventures, and will ensure one of the worst companies on the planet gets even more personal information from everyone.

      Zuck has been nothing but terrible for the state of VR. Oculus was doing fine before Facebook bought them, and since then all they’ve contributed is trying to fragment the ecosystem.

        Nah the Quest 3 (and I’d argue still the 2) is easily the best headset on the market right now.

        Nothing else comes close to the features, quality, and most importantly the price.

        You can hate meta and Facebook and the zucc all you want but they are doing legitimate really really cool things with VR
