Ok it was a bad screenshot, but horizon is amazing. I wonder how many of the critics actually put on a headset and tried it out

  And why is it better than VRChat?

    It’s a social environment w chat and such, but you can build the world from inside, kind of like CAD for the environment you inhabit. It’s ‘down the rabbit hole’ amazing. I think the critics are totally wrong. Meta’s a golden bet.

  No that’s a very poor cop out. They shouldn’t criticize something they haven’t experienced, it’s a lack of integrity.

    > They shouldn’t criticize something they haven’t experienced, it’s a lack of integrity. "They" do not exist. You completely fabricated an hypothesis where you "wondered" how many people criticized Meta's horizon worlds in spite if never trying them out. Your "very poor cop out" is the strawman you put together.

Google Plus was great software too. That's not always enough.

Went to a Best Buy recently. The VR goggles were firmly fastened to the counter. No way to try them on. That would be a good start.

  How is Best Buy still in business?

    Good question --- one that I discovered the answer to a few years ago. They now price match with Amazon. Yes, you heard that right. If Best Buy has the product, you can pick it up right now for exactly the same price as what you can order it for on Amazon. But if you think about it, Best Buy is actually cheaper for most people --- because you're not paying the "Prime" tax. The down side is there is no way for Best Buy to match the product variety available on Amazon.
