    How do you spend billions of dollars and not produce any content anyone wants? What were those thousands of man-hours spent doing?

      It’ll be a sad day for the people who lose their jobs because some idiot wasted colossal amounts of money on a delusional dream. Then again it was their choice to work for one of the most evil companies on the planet, so I don’t really pity them.

    Meta is backtracking on its plans to shut down the VR version of its metaverse. The company now plans to support Horizon Worlds in VR for the “foreseeable future,” though users shouldn’t expect new games, CTO Andrew Bosworth said in an update.
