What do you think about that most big VR technology is owned by big companies like Meta and Tik Tok? (feddit.de)

I mean yeah it's obvious that it's an oportunity for making money on a new marked and so on, but, even if it's a bit silly, dreaming of VR technology like in Ready Player One(minus the distopian world) for real life it feels like the bad guys already won, when we will have the technology. Like the omni One is just about to be launched for the market and it's sold in a bundle with the pico 4, which is owned by Tik Tok. Do you get what is grinding my gears about that?

Modded Skyrim in VR is amazing too. I've put my Index on and had hours slip by without realizing it. There's nothing like wandering around Skyrim and killing dragons in VR. And then of course there's also Half Life Alyx. That game will make you forget you're in a game...
