Alternate headline:
“New shiny thing distracts idiot CEO into moving funds from one money pit to another.”
idk vr never felt like a pit, just early, comfort and fov was an issue, literally my main issue was not being able to see my phone without taking it off. Once that is solved I could use it indefinitely, taking it off and putting it back on was annoying and it always felt wrong after
I mean I'm a big fan of VR but it's clearly been a money pit for meta, their massive investment in it is never going to pay back, they were betting on selling "metaverse" real estate rather than making money on the hardware
they weren't paying attention when people tried that very same thing in SecondLife
Somehow they also made it worse than second life.
