Same. I was one of the original kickstarter backer. Never touched it again after the meta account got mandatory.

I might get the Steam Frame and see how much has changed in the VR space.

I mean, it was doomed from the beginning. There was no vision, no problem to be solved, no benefit for the user.

Why would the world need this VR space? For meetings or chats? We have virtual meetings and this adds nothing of value. For games? The graphics are bad (to allow more people to use it) and there are better VR games. For companies to advertise? You would need something to get people to go there.

They should have created a benefit for the user first and if that is successful add more.

They could have started with a Sims clone or a WOW clone to get people interested and invested before adding the rest. Selling virtual land only makes sense if it’s worth something.

I have a similar theory about star trek. In one scene there was a blurry picture and to sharpen it Ricker said: “Computer implement recursive Algorithm”. That is equivalent to “Computer do something”. So now my theory is that there is an intelligent ship with a genius AI that carries around humans that have regressed to toddler intelligence because the AI does everything for them.

The ship is basically human daycare with lots of blinking buttons and moving pictures to keep the humans occupied while the ship does the actual (and probably boring) science.

Starfleet Academy is basically teaching them technobabble and looking great in a uniform while the AIs do the real work.
