In news you can file under 'painfully predictable,' Meta spent another quarter burning through the GDP of a small nation in a bid to birth the metaverse.
What the hell are they even spending all this money on when they don’t have much to show for it?
Could it be that people don’t want to pay money to strap advertising machines on their faces? Has the robotic Augustus Caesar LARPer lost touch with the common people?
I want VR from someone better too. But still gonna use the Quest 3 for now. It’s pretty awesome. I don’t know how long I would have to wait for something worth using to come from someone else. But it’s longer than I would want to. Been in VR for 10 years now, and it’s still awesome.
They might, if they actually introduced anything new, the meta vr UX outside of introducing hand gesture recognition has been the same since quest 1, while apple actually innovated in the medium. Meta bought all of these companies and is doing nothing with them, then they’re wondering why it’s not increasing in output. Half life alyx is still the last great vr experience that doesn’t feel like just a tech demo, and it’s been yearssss

No, it is the plebeians that are wrong.
He’s taking the territory early.
Others will be less willing to develop if they must compete with a loss-tolerant Meta with years (and billions of dollars) already invested.
I want VR and much of what he’s got people working on. I just don’t want it from them. Or Google. Or most tech bigs.
