Ex-Meta Director Helps Confirm What Went Wrong With Horizon Worlds: "No One Loved the Product" Originally published on my Patreon Kelly Stonelake is a 15 year veteran of Facebook/Meta, who recently filed a lawsuit against the company, alleging a series of highly serious charges around sexual as...

Horizon Worlds is terrible. Rec Room and VRChat are much better. Horizon Worlds is a tough product to love. #vr #quest #virtualreality nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2025/05/...

Mojang has just killed support for Minecraft VR, an underrated but very flawed VR experience — PC Gamer It's up to the fans from here.

I only played the VR mode in Minecraft ONE time. Ever. It wasn’t a great experience. Not surprised they kill this. apple.news/AA-51nflYRva...

“Meta has spent over $100 billion on VR.”

Definitely not the best representation of what VR has to offer.

So bad

The $100 billion figure includes hardware R&D. Still, no amount of money is going to make Horizon Worlds better. VRChat is far better.

Great headset. Especially for the money.

I totally feel you. I love my M3. I’m not wealthy where I can sell it and buy something else. People need to chill out & focus on the important things: protest, vote differently, get involved in local politics. THOSE things make a difference. Elon got my money already. Tesla isn’t giving refunds.

While Horizon Worlds Layoffs Loom at Meta, Metaverse Platforms Rec Room & VRChat Are Hiring Many Roles Meta is now laying off thousands of employees while all but announcing that staff working on Meta's Horizon Worlds is next on the chopping block this year. So it's important to note that Rec Room and ...

I’m sorry to say, but Horizon Worlds was dead on arrival. I continue to revisit and am always underwhelmed and annoyed. Sorry to the folks that love that platform, but it isn’t for me. I much prefer @vrchat.com even though its not perfect. #vr #virtualreality #metaquest #meta

Ex-Oculus CTO: ‘Beat Saber was much more important to VR’s growth than Half-Life: Alyx’ John Carmack, former CTO of Oculus and legendary programmer, isn’t shy when it comes to voicing his opinions on all things XR. To Carmack, Meta’s block-slashing rhythm game Beat Saber (2018) was “far ...

I agree with Carmack. If you think objectively about it, Beat Saber probably helped move more Quest units than Half-Life: Alyx. #vr #virtualreality #gaming

Bill Gates predicts that earbuds and smart glasses will be the primary form factors of AI. I agree. Not sure how the earbuds would work, but Meta is doing the smart glasses thing today and they sell very well.

That’s the way I interpreted that too. AI is their highest priority and the glasses have sold very well. The metaverse stuff needs a lot more time to bake. The revenue makers get the biggest budgets.

LOL. YES!

Such a great use case of mixed reality!

Meta says this is the make or break year for the metaverse The clock is ticking for the metaverse.

Anyone understand why THIS year is the make or break year for the metaverse? Or is it code for "Meta can't invest more in this metaverse stuff and we have to cut our losses". #VR #virtualreality #metaquest
