They lost $42 billion on Oculus 3/Pro research. My brain cannot process these numbers. I do not see how it's possible. It's as if a football stadium of fans each had a suitcase of a million dollars and all threw it onto the field, then they torched it all with gasoline. They burned a million dollars, then burned another million dollars, then repeated that a thousand more times. Then this entire story repeated, 42 times. Nope, brain still isn't wrapping around it. I know how many useless product managers a big tech company can have wandering around making tiktoks, but that still doesn't explain the scale.
- blackoil 3y agoDon't know if it can justify 42 billion or how that is calculated. But to add at cutting age we underestimate cost of failed attempts. Calculating design/dev cost of final successful product misses all the designs and code that never made it to production.
