Zuck rebranded because Facebook has a bad rep. Microsoft bought AB for their IP and lib, I don’t believe they do any VR stuff. They do online gaming well and will be very successful with Xbox.

I don’t think we will be seeing competitive esports in VR, as we don’t see competitive Wii Bowling as an esport.

It would make more sense that "they" refers to Activision Blizzard. They do very little VR stuff compared to Microsoft.

Doesn't really make sense anyway. If you're building a VR world, you need to fill it with something.
