I understand there’s arguments about “this is not new, they’ve been working on VR for a decade” - fine, but it’s Zuckerberg, who apparently never does anything in good faith (see: the Winklevoss twins, Whatsapp, Snapchat, Libra, etc)
I’m sure they only have VR in order to onboard people to blue app. People have gotten banned and their only recourse is to buy an Oculus. Convenient.
Wasn’t that the obvious deal from the beginning? You buy the subsidized hardware and ignore Facebook’s gravity as long as you can. That’s the catch for the low price.
Anyone who thought otherwise is, well, thinking wishfully.

Big tech in general. At this point the only one I still have faith in not too fuck over customers “because they can” is Valve.
