The metaverse a resounding failure, Facebook has latched on to the AI hype train in hopes of making the company relevant. They're basically put of ideas on how to feed the beast of "forever growth" the markets demand.
They have a slim chance if they keep subsidizing VR headsets to hold a and luceative chunk of the VR market when that actually takes off. VR is genuinely cool enough that enough people will get hooked once they experience a headset on their face with a VR experience that jives with them
VR is a cool gimmick but I don't enjoy it for gaming.
It's cool but as soon as I need to move I am out. Moving is inconvenient at best and nausiating at worst (for me). So that does not leave me with a lot of possible games. Edit: I am sure that is the same for most people.
