I have to wonder what all those metaverse employees were doing.
I certainly have no idea either, but that's mainly because I've never wanted anything to do with meta's "verse".
I got their headset because it's good hardware and cheap. And for the next one, I'll be ready to pay more so I can get out of their shitty ecosystem and constant nagging for me to engage with it. Lesson learned I guess.
Meta is fad chasing again
well it's the whole tech industry this time
It's the only thing it's good at
Can't wait to buy a steam frame. I really like the idea of those Facebook headsets but i would never buy something from Facebook.
