The usage numbers probably reflect what happened in this house: since the pestering to confirm age and the horizon worlds update the Meta VR devices have literally not been recharged.

They had the foundation of something half reasonable at one point, but their product management clearly got in the way.

I'm pretty sure the buck stops with Mark Zuckerberg.

Zuckerberg wants a cyberpunk future, not some 3D immersive HR department on your face.

I think to him those are the same thing.

If he wanted an imaginative environment he'd be in VRChat.

VRChat is what you would point at to justify the creation of Horizon Worlds, while saying “it is just too creepy for normies”.

Neither of those extremes are tolerable.
