Good, I wanna see Apple flop just like Meta's VR nonsense did.

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 16 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I think it's less that people hate VR and moreso that tech companies obsession with it as a next step in tech and not as a piece of specialized hardware.

So isn't it a good thing these companies are trying to make it not suck?

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 days ago

The problem is they're making it suck more, by piling their usual proprietary shitware on top of it.

How is Quest a flop? Or are you talking about something else?

Bot quest and ray band products are huge success dominating their respective markets.

I really wish people were more serious about these markets so it can be done well from the get got rather than starting to be fixed and regulated 2 decades later.

Having borrowed a quest 3 last week I’ve almost pulled trigger on buying one.

The only thing holding me back is.. it’s Meta.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There's a big piracy scene on Quest so if you really put in the effort you're not giving these evil assholes much but generally I agree. There's so much entertainment and things to do that I can really wait a bit longer as VR is not going away.

If you get one, buy Walkabout Mini Golf. I've spent so long playing that and hanging out in its worlds.
