My prediction success rate remains depressingly accurate

Valve definitely won’t announce something this week..

@4ThangsVR I imagine licensing is not easy
@AllOnBoardVR might have insight on the topic?

This is absolutely one of the best use cases of VR that hasn't been touched on enough
When we talk about "why VR?", table top games have been at the top of the list of experiences
Demeo is 10/10

Board games like DEMEO work SO well in VR. Why haven’t we had a CLASSIC board game in VR yet? Walk the board. See your buildings go up in first-person. Open the community chest with your hands. Actually sit in the jail cell! What other games would work? Game of Life? Mouse Trap? #VR #PSVR2

VR’s narrative is being set by people who don’t build in VR, don’t spend time in VR, and don’t see the small teams quietly winning.
VR’s best news happens in huge Discord servers, not on social or news articles.
Jump into the culture for the good news.

@NathieVR iirc @Rengle820 is there, I’m sure a few others too

@UploadVR @Heaney555 Wonder how much longer the bridge crew servers have left in them

@PalmerLuckey What you laughing at?

💢 BREAKING | IRGC claims F-35 hit over central Iran; footage unverified Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said its air defenses struck a U.S. F-35 fighter jet at around 2:50 a.m. over central Iran, claiming the aircraft was “seriously damaged” and likely crashed, though its fate remains unclear. The IRGC said the incident follows the interception of more than 125 “American-Zionist” drones, pointing to what it described as improved air defense capabilities. The claim and footage remains unverified.

If this technology is real Iran is cooked

It didn’t really have legs.

Meta is shutting down its VR metaverse on June 15th.

As someone who worked at Reality Labs: the Metaverse had real legs but was obliterated by middle management completely out of touch with how young people actually use technology.
I built a V1 tool that game developers genuinely needed, and the moment it was done, it got shipped to a team in London (to die), and I was reassigned to a "higher-priority project" that zero developers asked for.
Multiply that by every team, and you'll understand why this never took off yet cost 80 billion.

JUST IN: Meta announces they'll be shutting down the Metaverse, after pouring $80,000,000,000.00 into the project.

In honour of the closure of the metaverse, I would like to re-up one of the worst videos ever recorded.

@TheOtherFrost What would you say the last hard game you played was?
English
I WANT EVERYONE'S LIFE TO GET BETTER AND EASIER SO WE CAN GET SOME PROPER HARD GAMES!
I UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE MIGHT NOT WANT TO BE CHALLENGED IN A GAME AFTER BEING REAMED BY LIFE, BUT THESE COZY GAMES ARE NOT CUTTING IT
AND NO WE DONT HAVE HARD GAMES. THEY'RE SPARLKING ANNOYING
English
@GAMERTAGVR At least you can still play the first one, for now. I imagine Sony fronting servers on the original firewall

@martydudeVR Meta, really the decision makers who work there, have a hard time understanding communities it seems. From Echo to Horizon Worlds, users get the chop just like all the laid off meta employees. Without any thought or care.
English
Dont care for Horizon Worlds but I do feel for the people that actually enjoyed it. Tough.
Nori 🦈@noridoesvr
Meta is set off to kill Horizon Worlds (including Arena/Central) for Meta Quest headsets, along with the ability to view Hyperscape captures within Worlds.
English
@StockMKTNewz It’s nearly cheaper to buy a gram of weed in mass than a gallon of gas, probably true in California too 😂
English
@afoxdesign It’s my understanding they will not be subsidizing future headsets like they did quest 3. So, I expect the hardware to be more expensive than it costs to build. I don’t think meta expects it to sell huge or even big
English
Assuming there’s few Quest games in production now, how is Meta Phoenix gonna make money? Other than hardware sales. It doesn’t seem like the kinda headset ppl will buy a tonne of apps for. Will it just be a targeted ad-fest 🤔
