Yeah, that's it. It wasn't having your fascist, boot-licking CEO show up wearing the stupidest looking shades that made investors cringe and look for the door. Cause we all know Zuck looks cool and people want to emulate him, right? He's not a jackass in a curly mop.

Maybe next they should have Elon wear them. We can just go down the line having stupid-looking billionaires take turns modeling these things and suck the whole industry dry of any investor money by mid-year. Who should go third? Oh, I know! Sam Altman with his two popped collars. I can't wait. What a trio of clowns. And that's just who I thought of off the top of my head.

Just saying I don't have much hope for Valve to save VR gaming. They don't have the resources, and they might not even have the intention, though the later is just speculation on my part and I really hope I'm wrong.

Pretty sure they have the resources, they're valued at $10B

That's not their budget, that's how much money they're worth on the stock market, in theory. The actual money Valve has to spend on VR (which pretty much means throw away, mind you) is a lot less.

At any rate they already said they're not developing any accompanying title for the Frame.

As an aside, meta is spending way more then valve's entire net worth on their reality labs every year.
