Meta has gone from a social media company to some kind of videogame company which really requires a completely different set of skills. I think mostly it is the "bad" skills that are translatable from one to the other: engagement, microtransactions, etc. Not only that, but to develop these "worlds" you actually need people to be incentivized... kids in Roblox are earning thousands of dollars for their creations and it seems as though what Meta's Horizon offers is nowhere near that kind of payout. What they probably need is to hire people to make killer apps inside their Horizon meta worlds but VR is such a reduced market right now that it's a difficult proposition. Meta is struggling with acquiring a userbase which tells you a lot, this proposition is not really something most people in the Meta platforms are really interested in. But we'll see what happens when Apple enters the scene and VR everyone starts getting a VR headset, maybe then people will go "hm, maybe i should try horizon".
