There are many reasons for low VR adoption, but Meta's brand image is not one of them. Most people really don't care.

  It is one of them because it has the right capability at the right price at $299. Every other option ranges from $499 - $999 and requires a PC starting at $1699. Otherwise, there would be a growing amount of early adopters. Instead, we have many techies who refuse to even try it.

    It's not just a vague sense of the "brand image", it's that they literally demand you open a Facebook account to use the device. I'm sure if it was just the corporate connection with Meta but it was still an ethical device, most techies wouldn't care. After all, a lot of software engineer use their open-source libraries like PyTorch, React, GraphQL....

      You’re right. It was a huge mistake in hindsight
