Yk a monopoly can stilll have competition and be a monopoly right?
And like by definition buying up all the competition is monopolistic, no matter if the companies wanna sell or not, they were influenced by the size of meta (and their financial backing), which gave them an unfair advantage against the competition. Entirely unrelated to hardware or software, both of which are dogshit in comparison - they were able to take a market share cause they can undercut all the competitors, exactly why their headsets are cheap.
Cmon man have like a single thought for yourself that ain’t propaganda
The irony of saying “Cmon man have like a single thought for yourself that ain’t propaganda” while just defaulting to “FaCeBoOk BaD” is peak. I already made mention of how facebook or whatever they are called is shit but you have to be braindead to see before meta entered the scene, VR was dead in the water. So yeah they tried to establish their little stupid metaverse thing and it thankfully failed. You aren’t even addressing my point of no consumer wants to pay 1000 fucking bucks on something they likely hate. Most consumers drop off hard on VR. So cheap headsets are a net good thing for VR, even though the cunts who make them are dick heads.
Game devs aren’t just going to be developing games if there is no fucking audience to play/buy them. So yeah many of those devs got bought out since Meta was the only one handing money out for VR related tech/games. It was a devil’s bargin as shown with Echo VR and many others but I can’t fault the devs since getting food on the table pretty fucking important than sticking with the values of some idiot VR snobs who think the only way VR should work is via pc connection on a pc that is valued in the 1k to 2k range on top of the previously mentioned VR headset that can set you back another 1k to 2k. Like I have the opportunity to have a pc in that range and I see how the quest 2 is very inferior to many other headsets but you have to be a fucking moron to invest thousands on something you will play with for a fucking week. So I’m thankful Meta (who is likely spying on its users) gave me an opportunity to try out VR at a “decent” price so now I know I’m into it and can invest further into the industry but nah. You stick with your idiotic groupthink of “MeTa BaD” when I will say I’m glad exist since people can take advantage of this deal and see if they want to further invest in the medium. I can’t wait for they to die out but I ain’t looking a gift horse in the mouth when they are ones who are the only pushers of VR right now. Apple doesn’t give a shit about gaming and while Sony pushes out a pretty damn good headset, they don’t let you use them on PC where most of the enthusiasts are. Console players don’t want to spend the price of the console they are playing on to possibly play a handful of games with little support afterwards.
