probably for the same reason why Apple doesn't use android or use normal PC mice that can double click

They want to create an isolated ecosystem that their cultish consumer base is locked inside of. A captive audience is a profitable audience.

That is a good question

I think VR chat is an amazing platform, has a lot of really good tech behind it and community support. But maybe they wanted an obscene big billion figure for their tech.

Meta should stick to improving headsets and building out the oculus store to semi-compete with the Steam store, at the very least make the best headset they can since they bought the original VR headset tech from rift.

I think most of his investments into VR went into headsets and the store - so I think meta is pretty undervalued right now. I believe their next headsets are going to be a significant improvement, but they might have to charge quite a bit for them to make up for all the R&D

Their metaverse game sucks ass though, im an avid VR enjoyer but I dont even know how to access the metaverse - I could only assume its like a very poorly done version of VR chat with none of the freedom. They should just write that mess off, but maybe in his mind it was going to be the next VR social platform when nobody really asked for that.

Keep an eye out for their upcoming headsets in 2024/2025 - its going to be at least 50% better than anything on the market - lets just hope it priced affordably

Meta VR users are starting to get cultish. Just like Steam users they now have a library of games tied to Zucc and they don't want to move to another platform, so they start circlejerking Meta headsets. Basically they're locked into an ecosystem just like Applecucks

Cause Zuck is an idiot

I am launching a Bitcoin fork. It won't be SHA-256 algorithm though, it's going to be purely GPU/CPU mineable which we're hoping will bring some old ETH miners to our network in the future. Our algorithm is known as YescryptR16.

If you're interested in the specs, hop in our TG (pic related). Everything is completely set up, the last step of our development process is building a sufficient sized community. We're looking for critics, mods, admins, etc. despite having what we need already. Launch is in 2 weeks.

evil cannot create it can only corrupt. if they weren't evil they'd lose esg credit and blackrock investment. they're globohomo and their minds are rotten. all they can do is buy up smaller businesses that aren't rotten yet and squeeze everything they can out of them before rotting them. they all have california brains so there's also a total disconnect from how actual humanity (which they despise) thinks and behaves.

Android hasn't even had dark theme for 10 years, dark theme hasn't even been around that long. Anyways I just switched from Anroid after over a decade and the Apple ecosystem is just so superior. Every small app like notes, health, gallery, etc is much better. Everything works together well. Any minor feature you could list doesn't really matter when you take in the grand scheme of things. Apple is the white mans phone I've realized.

Metaverse is more focused on the hardware aspect than VR chatting software at the moment. That being said, Metaverse is leagues ahead of VRchat as far as the technology goes, with AR and VR support in one headset as well as facial tracking. The future of AR/VR is Metaverse and anyone spreading FUD about it being less than current software-only universally-used VR programs are unaware of what the metaverse truly is.
