Could this be a cautionary tale for another recently turned VR-maker tech giant?
Well, this is too bad. I don’t like Meta but I love my Quest 2. Sounds like features for the Quest 3 have had their scope reduced to cut costs.
I’m hopeful the Quest 3 will do well because the VR space is really cool, and there are not any real competitors at this price point.
It’ll be hilarious in several years time when they’ve completely abandoned the entire VR multiverse concept, when they have to explain to people what their company name means.

Someone needs to stop me, my prophecies all come true but nobody believes me!
They are probably busy copying Apples headset.
It’s a neat, young tech that unfortunately still hasn’t been given a fair shot (it’s being used as a bunch of get-rich-quick schemes by most). I was hoping Meta would continue to develop it and gain some integrity karma, even at least as a very small team/project. At least a lot of progress has been made this round of vr hype. Maybe in 20-30 years, another wave will happen and it’ll actually take root. I’d like to see VR actually take hold and be as cool as the sci-fi stuff in my lifetime, or even proof of concept before I die, knowing that it’ll probably happen.
