    A shame - I feel like VR really needs a loss leader to actually build more foundation for developers to actually care… but at least its out now I guess

      Isn’t that what meta’s been doing for a decade?

      Doesn’t seem to be working too well for them

        Yes, because they didn’t focus on gaming or useful capabilities but instead tried to develop a PG-rated (as in, for kids) platform for work. Meta’s management literally thought everyone would want to strap on a VR headset and wear it all day for work.

        Meanwhile, loads of fantastic games had people buying headsets just to play the game they want.

        Basically, Meta invested all their time and money in all the wrong things. All the stuff nobody actually wants to do with their VR headset. I mean, come on: They wanted to do away with the controllers! That’s how anti-gaming their focus was.
