Meta wants to be the Microsoft of headsets

They would have to strive to be less shit than Microsoft.
Right now meta have a proprietary display technology. They need in some way to transition that to a standard, and they've done absolutely nothing in that area to move towards that goal. They have absolutely no idea how to move VR into the mainstream. Everything they do is all about making more money in the short term but they have no long-term strategy.
Where is the equivalent of HTML? Where is their standard for producing VR and AR content? They need to display the content, they don't need to own it.
They want to create "The Metaverse" and yet they don't get that in order to do that it needs to be open source and public access. Now they are trying to create a closed source VR internet, and it won't work.

I decided to wait for Valve standalone. Even if it never comes out I'd rather keep waiting than get a meta headset.

The Valve Index is here already and great. No bullshit like the Quest, just VR that works well. If you have a gaming PC with at least a quad-core and RTX 3060 then you should be good to get started with one. Mine works fine on a 9-year old gaming PC with 6 cores, 16GB RAM, and an RTX 3060TI. The motherboard is that old, the rest of the parts are newer (mostly GPU)

I think by standalone they mean 'no PC'. Like the Quest ones that run the games on themselves.

Every time I read about Meta I pray a little more that those rumors about Valve working on a standalone VR headset are true

For someone as apparently intelligent as Mark, it’s amazing how stupid he is.
It doesn’t matter what you do or say, Mark, I will never buy something produced by or associated with Meta. Don’t care how groundbreaking or revolutionary it might be.
I see you, Mark. I’ve watched how you operate for the last 20 years, Mark. I’ll never give you a cent.

I hate facebook but i love vr. And it was the only one i could afford. I have it completely blocked off the internet though since i only use it for steamvr. 🥺

a lot of people dont have the same hate for mark that you have, and a lot of people dont even know that meta is facebook. He's not a good person, but he's not stupid

Why the fuck would anyone want to be the Microsoft of anything?

This must be pandering to shareholders, no company in their right mind would want to compete when Meta is selling their first party headset at a giant loss.

Sorry, Mark, so long as Meta is attached to the headset I’m not going to buy it.
I don’t even let Meta websites into my house. I have all that blocked at the DNS level.
