Not a direct answer to your question, because I honestly don’t know.
I am more surprised by the attention this gets in press and tech circles.
Meta is making a long term bet. It might just one of the biggest wastes in recent time, or it could turn out to be something that actually works. I don’t know if it will fail, but I’m certain they’ll learn a ton out of this. If VR is to ever become something, Meta will have a significant competitive advantage.
Meta could be doing this knowing full and well and expecting the first several iterations of this to fail. Now, if you work at meta or own meta stock, it’s entirely up to you whether you want to jump ship.
But why this bet is so controversial baffles me.
- kristiandupont 4y agoI don't personally find the bet to be controversial, I can see why you could envision VR as being the future. What baffles me is the execution that appears to be handled incompetently.
- bionsystem 4y agoHistory has countless examples of companies collapsing on their own size, even outside of tech. There is nothing special about Zuck or META that would prevent that from "just happening", unless they figure out the right structure to make it work.
