Good for him. No one has done as much damage to AR/VR as FB did to it with the Metaverse. Way to make something cool fundamentally unlikable.

- falcor84 11mo agoI would actually put a lot of the blame for today's VR winter (or at least expectations cooldown) on Ready Player One, and particularly its movie adaptation. Not that it was bad per-se, but for me and others I spoke too it was so outlandish that it essentially made VR "jump the shark".
- torginus 11mo agoI would put it on VR having a grand total of 3 good applications: HL Alyx, VRChat and Beat Saber, one of which was doing the metaverse better than Facebook, and on a shoestring budget. (I forgot sims). Besides I wonder what does a company, whose entire product lineup revolves around looking cool and successful and admired in front of strangers with a product whose main mode of usage involves blindly flailing around in a room with a plastic box stripped to your face.
- Pedro_Ribeiro 11mo agoHL Alyx ruined most VR games for me because they never lived up to Half-Life, and no one but Valve could make such a high-profile game. VR is a genre that benefits A LOT from high budgets. I enjoyed games like No Man's Sky in VR, but they just don't hit the same high notes.
- heromal 11mo agoThrow simming in there, too.
