Metaverse was like the AI nobody asked for getting pushed into apps. Nobody wanted Wii Mii like hangout rooms where you have to water a clunky headset.
I was willing to give a shot to something like the Metaverse, but the instant I heard it was a Facebook/Meta project I had zero interest and hoped it would die. This was my same experience with Occulus. These are both technologies I want for a cyberpunk future, but Facebook cannot be the one to control them.
One of the original employees of Oculus stuck around after the buy out, until a couple years ago and rage quit. Because he said that Meta is killing it. So yeah.

I actually liked it back when it was called second life
I never understood why Second Life wasn’t ported to VR circa 2020.

They are killing it, but sadly they’re about the only ones keeping it alive, at least at an affordable price.
I wish VR was a commodity product, like TVs. Everything compatible with everything.
Let’s wait for the steam frame
I’m going to guess at comfortably 3 times the price of the Quest 3S.
They might surprise us, but in this economy, I doubt it.
I predict it’ll be four times the price, an overpriced toy with no games
But there are games for it? They say you can play most games on steam with it?
Yeah and I can also play most games on my PC, unless the Steam Frame can also run VR games it’ll be a hard sell
Are you just trolling?
The steam frame is a VR headset, why should it not be able to run VR games?!?
Also it will be able to run Android apps, so all VR and non VR Android games might also be available there.
I very much doubt that there will be no games for it
