That’s not surprising seeing how much of a massive failure it is.

Zuck has been the one pushing for this Metaverse stupidity from the beginning. Good thing he has controlling interest.

This guy was more on the tech side, but the fundamental problems with Zuckerberg's vision are not technical. This really sounds like scapegoating.

Its kind of underappreciated how much of a failure their entire software stack is (Bosworth should be the first to leave).

For those paying attention, the technical VR "stuff that works" is basically written by Qualcomm.

The user side Android system is, really badly done and irritating for people using it as people like Carmack have pointed out.

This is possible the biggest software development blunder in history, they seem to have spent 10-20 billion dollars on... Qualcomm making a good vr headset for them and them failing to deliver a good experience with it.

Does this include the newest headset? That one looked pretty good feature wise.
