If the cuts are deep, they could hamper Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg’s project to build augmented and virtual reality products enabling access to a set of immersive virtual

VR is interesting to me. I have zero desire for a facebook product, I don't care how good it is.

Zuckerberg has to realize he, as the messenger, is poisoning the future he wants to exist.

It’s a shame that Oculus was gobbled up by them, and a shame that they seem to be the only ones capable of making an untethered unit.

I’ve used the quest, and could take or leave the built in stuff, mostly leave, but the untethered desktop VR experience was something else.

I just won’t ever buy a Facebook product.

Seriously, what a nightmare. You try to escape reality playing a video game in immersion through VR and you get served ads ?

That added to privacy issues at Facebook, I would never touch that product.
