TL;DR: After 14 years, Meta plans to return to China with a more affordable VR headset, striking a deal with Tencent for exclusive sales. The China-approved headset may use cheaper lenses and could be sold globally. The deal grants Meta a larger share of device sales, while Tencent gets more from content and service revenue. Meta aims to leverage VR growth opportunities in China despite potential challenges. (via ChatGPT)

Sounds like this could be a reason for the recent pico layoffs etc

It's so lame that Pico got banned from the West (I wouldn't be surprised if there was some bribery there) but Meta gets to sell in the East. Had Pico 4 released in the states the competition would have been fierce and more devs would have released on both platforms.

Hopefully Pico 5 does well. I really don't want Quest to be the only option for standalone headsets.
