It's becoming increasingly obvious that Meta realized their whole VR/AR push was just a ketamine induced fever dream. Now they're cutting their losses after being the only game in town for the better part of a decade. Where does this leave the VR community? There are no serious competitors left. Most promising studios were acquired and are now being culled.
The technology was never going to take over the world like Zuck intended but it's still a very cool avenue for unique experiences with gaming, interactive media, porn etc

When was that exactly? When was the last time you've hear anyone praising a Quest VR game?
No one cares about their walled garden. People buy their headsets only to attach it to PC and play regular PCVR games.

I don't think meta pumped any serious amount of money into VR all they did is sink money into their sub businesses which then paid out the exec which somehow increased their stock valuation. Its just silly at this point Zuck claims to have spend what 30b on vr? Complete bullshit.

Even if they did pump money into it, they were barely effective according to Carmack.
Constant office politics, favor trading, deferred maintenance and pet projects were probably the norm, most of which probably never saw the light of day.

How do you know what he intended? I am sure that something is off in this story. Zuck is a faggot ruining humanity globally, but not an idiot. There was something else they spent money on. You literally cannot spend that much on VR toys, they never really did that much, they did 0 groundbreaking things, started by aquiring Oculus, continued by buying up existing companies while achiving nothing on their own. They spent money on something else and VR was just a bright cover for the real deal.

I'd recognize that armpit anywhere.
Imagine the smell.

Daily reminder that Meta shipped this while Gaben made HL Alyx with like less than 1% of the budget.

But this doesn't even matter. Meta was just a shitty attempt (that was not shitty cuz it worked) to rebrand Facebook from a social media company about to be buttfucked by regulators for monopolistic practices into a VR company with a side hustle in social networking

I think it's safe to say that it really was just hundreds of Karens wasting their time on pushing their personal, mutually exclusive agendas.
