What the hell are they even spending all this money on when they don't have much to show for it?

He's taking the territory early.

Others will be less willing to develop if they must compete with a loss-tolerant Meta with years (and billions of dollars) already invested.

I want VR and much of what he's got people working on. I just don't want it from them. Or Google. Or most tech bigs.

I want VR from someone better too. But still gonna use the Quest 3 for now. It's pretty awesome. I don't know how long I would have to wait for something worth using to come from someone else. But it's longer than I would want to. Been in VR for 10 years now, and it's still awesome.
