Reply to comment by Akashictruth in Meta unveils a new large language model that can run on a single GPU by AylaDoesntLikeYou

This is cringe, the VR market ruined itself. The Quest 2 is the best thing that ever happened to it. I'm not sure exactly what you want.

People just like shitting on Facebook. Zuckerberg's interest in VR is basically the only reason a VR industry even exists at this point. It would have fizzled out 3 or 4 years ago without Facebook throwing millions of dollars into a pit.

Yup I would have never bought an overpriced VR set to play games while wired to a PC.

This is utter nonsense, since the Metaverse didn't draw a lot of people in. There would be more VR games by now and more games geared towards high end gamers.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Facebook is, far and away, the biggest funder of VR games. It has nothing to do with Horizon Worlds. Most of the large studio VR games that do exist, do so solely because they were partially or fully funded by Facebook's creator funds. VR games don't make any profit, so nobody wants to develop for it.

They're also the only company that sells an affordable headset. I hate to break it to you, but nobody's going to create games for systems that have no consumer base. Hell, even with the large success of the Oculus headsets, the players base is still too small to warrant development in the space (that's entirely why Facebook has to fill the void in the first place).

Mobile VR games? Not running on a PC, if I'm informed correctly.

You could have normal games adjusted for VR.

>that's entirely why Facebook has to fill the void in the first place

How nice of them. I thought it's because they wanted their own "App Store" with devices and squash any possible competition for their own ecosystem.

>You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

I do have some insight and it's a matter of judgement which side I believe.

Fuck no there was a big demand for VR before Facebook came, Facebook just went in and turned it from a VR industry to a Facebook industry and continuously bought and buried companies(to the point where the FTC stepped in and has been hounding their ass for more than a year over it) then killed creativity by paying the people who worked in these companies to do the absolute minimum and not innovate(When carmack left he said that Meta is bloated and inefficient), right now theyre killing off echo VR(one of the biggest multiplayer VR games) because of its “low player count in the tens of thousands”

Did you know that the guy leading Meta’s efforts in VR/AR, Andrew Bosworth, is the same guy who oversaw Facebook’s advertising efforts in 2016 and 2017? That he literally said facebook ads helped trump win? Thats the motherfucker leading the VR industry right now

You sound deranged. Every big company is bloated, which is why they all just fired a shitload of people. VR was super niche and would have never taken off without something cheap and that worked well. That was the Quest 2.

This just in, political ads help politicians win elections.

Deranged? you know i saw your first reply before you edited it and sheesh you are raging, you work at facebook or something? Man’s acting like i insulted his whole bloodline😂

VR would have naturally developed a Quest 2 when it needed to and could, it’d also be a lot more organic, open and have a ton more & better games and a lot more competition incentivizing devs to improve, you act like a multi billion dollar company annexing the market and buying everything is the only way forward

>this just in, political ads help politicians win elections

Your uncaring attitude towards one of the biggest companies in the world admitting to have conducted the biggest psyop in history is concerning, your even more uncaring attitude towards the most powerful person in the VR industry being the same one that lead advertising for Facebook and personally overseen the massive psyop that helped trump win is the only thing in here that can be called deranged

I didn't edit any of my posts. Thinking you might actually be mentally ill at this point.

Facebook ads are conspiratorial psychological operations now? Dude seriously, get help. This isn't normal behavior.

This is mentally ill rambling. I don't even know what to say anymore.

Do you think the more ad hominems you throw around the more sound your argument(or lack there-of)? You are genuinely sad, anyone who sees how much you defend facebook would think you are part of it’s board of directors

I think you are just trolling, there is no way any human with real views and opinions would think like you so i will just close this off, have a good day.

Wow, what a psyop

>"They weren't running misinformation or hoaxes. They weren't micro targeting or saying different things to different people," Bosworth wrote. "They just used the tools we had to show the right creative to each person. The use of custom audiences, video, ecommerce, and fresh creative remains the high water mark of digital ad campaigns in my opinion."

Whoa, this is pretty much a full blown psyop at this point.

It didn't take off, and there are enough gamers with money but they want games for their expensive hardware. Meta is a burden to the ecosystem.

I think, they lured a lot of devs away from game development with loads of money and then used them for working on their meta thingy which goes nowhere. They're trying to make everything into one platform which they control and also everything geared towards mobile devices.
