    Sorry, Mark, so long as Meta is attached to the headset I’m not going to buy it.

    I don’t even let Meta websites into my house. I have all that blocked at the DNS level.

      I wish I could do that at our house. My wife would lose her shit though along with we need it for events sadly. The one thing FB is good for is groups and events.

    For someone as apparently intelligent as Mark, it’s amazing how stupid he is.

    It doesn’t matter what you do or say, Mark, I will never buy something produced by or associated with Meta. Don’t care how groundbreaking or revolutionary it might be.

    I see you, Mark. I’ve watched how you operate for the last 20 years, Mark. I’ll never give you a cent.

        I feel you, and part of the reason we don’t have access to cheaper and better options is because of Meta’s monopolistic instinct. They bought oculus, which had been actively innovating, instead of competing with them and strengthening the market by developing their own product. It’s not like they didn’t have the money.

        I don’t fault anyone for buying their stuff if it’s cool, my stand is purely a stubborn one at this point. I just won’t touch Meta with a ten foot pole.

    Every time I read about Meta I pray a little more that those rumors about Valve working on a standalone VR headset are true

    This must be pandering to shareholders, no company in their right mind would want to compete when Meta is selling their first party headset at a giant loss.

    Will always be a niche product. The general population has no interest in strapping a display to their face. This shit is just 3D tv round 2
