Reply to comment by ItsColeOnReddit in Meta Abandons Original Quest VR Headset from 2019 - The company will stop providing feature updates and security fixes by 2024. by speckz

I have a quest 2. It’s fun and all, but it mostly sits on the shelf. It’s kind of neat to cast it to the tv and play beat saber when we have guests, but that’s about it.

It’s insanely uncomfortable to wear for more than 20 min, and hurts your eyes too.

VR isn’t there, and I’m not sure it will ever be, except for niche applications. We’re surely not jumping into “the Metaverse” any time soon.

Nah you just don't know what you're doing. People are already in the metaverse it's called VRchat and I know people who spend 12 hours a day in there with 10000 hours played. People even sleep in VR.

You're talking about the vast minority of the population that Meta needs to adopt this technology to make it in any way lucrative and sustainable. So yes, "we" as a society are not jumping into the Metaverse any time soon.

VRChat as a concept is really good, but in practice the platform fucking sucks. Everything is tied to worlds, you can’t have world-independent objects you can take everywhere,
