Meta's flagship metaverse service leaves VR behind
The company asserts it will continue to make VR headsets, though.

Can I just say. Good.
The first gen meta headset was pretty decent. Especially as a steam vr streamer. Then the forced meta account shit happened and we couldn’t get that trash out of the house soon enough.
I wish nothing but the worst for that entire company and their future endeavors.
I’d love to break my Quest 2 out again some day but I refuse to connect it to the internet again, I just don’t know how no internet access would affect its usability
$80 Billion in VR investments and nowhere near $80 Billion worth of anything to show for it.
To put things into perspective: VRchat is barely at 100M rn and is infinitely more entertaining and usable
Cool tech demos tho?
If it were the 1990s
Oooh! Maybe they'll finally invent an actual reason to use it.
Lol. XD
