Honestly I’m kind of surprised they made 10B in revenue. There should be a web extension that adds a warning to every article or tweet that are by journalists trying to hype the metaverse. That stuff was so obviously going to fail.

Much of that is from the hardware, a very conservative estimate of (Quests sold by mid-2023) * (typical ~$300 MSRP) gets you to $6 billion revenue by itself. The problem is they're selling the hardware at a loss, and their attach rate is abysmal so that gamble isn't being offset by software sales. Most Quests ended up gathering dust.
- fcatalan 1y agoI have a Quest 3 and use it daily, but it's still a failure for Meta: I just click past their risible Horizons crap and use it exclusively for simracing, hooked to my PC. When I get another headset it will be a PC-VR dedicated one, because my use case is clearly not what they intend. Their Link app is an abysmal experience and updates tend to break things and just make it worse. A third party app, Virtual Desktop, is plain better in every aspect, but still hampered by the general poor UX.
