Not really. Meta has been dominating the market lately, it seems like people really only care about the price. And with the quality of the Quest 3, AVP was doomed from the start.
Who cares about the market? Nobody who matters wants to buy hardware that's locked to a walled garden that will inevitably be rendered useless as soon as it stops being profitable.
This post is inherently about the market and Apple's failed attempt at making a viable product. Which apple no doubt thought they could steal market share from Meta in the VR/AR space. Different people want different headsets and most people want the cheapest plug and play option. That's why the #2 headsets are strictly PC periferals.
That's been Apple's very successful business model since the beginning. That ain't it.
Clearly the business model alone isn't enough, they've had plenty of duds like this
Of course not but that's what you pointed at
Indeed, and yet for some reason you're still talking about the business model and not the obviously-deficient hardware and software it mistakenly assumed would be profitable.
Bruh...you did that 🤷
Bruh, all I said was that I'm not in the target audience and that I don't respect the preferences of those who are..
You brought up the business model as if to suggest that my lack of interest in its' profitability was some kind of moral or intellectual failure.
That's not even remotely what you said. If you need a reminder, here's what you said:
I paraphrased myself directly:
Literally the same statement.
This is literally not even remotely the same statement, what are you talking about? LOL Stop trying to gaslight everyone.
I'm starting to think Knightly is either a bot or master of rage bait. There's no way.
I'm just weird, and people don't like it when the weird enby bases their priorities on something other than total submission to a corporate reality distortion field.
I don't care how much artificial hype they've generated or how much market dominance they've achieved by it, Apple and Facebook products are never going to be relevant to me.
Literally, I'm so happy for you.
I can't tell if this is sincere or if you're being as weird as I am. XD
It's precisely the same, the only difference is my tone.
