Great, thanks for buying oculus and turning it into a massive POS
This is the biggest loss in this debacle.
Oculus had the traction and promise to become the steam deck for virtual reality, but after Meta tried to zuckify it into a platform business we have nothing to show for it, except perhaps the extremely humanlike avatar.
It was an enshittification speedrun.
What an idiot
What a loss. How will I ever move on with my life.
There's always Second Life.
wtf is the metaverse even
Something something Ready Player One bullshit with nothing interesting in it, except for feeling your wallet getting lighter.
i hate player one
