I’ll celebrate every aspect of the scam that is Metaverse and the oculus rift dying off.
Like any other studio bought by a big corporation this is the inevitable outcome and I wish the best for the employees that had no say in the matter.
Comment on Meta is closing down three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts
MurrayL@lemmy.world 4 days agoFuck off, sincerely. It’s hard enough out there for game devs as it is without heartless idiots online celebrating the demise of their studios.

It's not like Meta just shut down some random game studios. They chose to get into bed with Meta. This was the most predictable outcome.

My brother in arms, my heart goes to you. I know it sucks.
Never fall in love with your work, ever. Metaverse and VR has always been a neat niche piece of tech.
As a dev, make the thing for that money, and always be ready to jump ship.

My man what are you on they sold out to Meta, they 100% knew what they were getting into, and have been well compensated for it.

The metaverse was always going to be a flop.
I get why devs jumped in, for that sweet Facebook cash injection.
But, gotta be realists here. It was always going to fail, and it was easy free money until that point.

Always. Buying hardware from Facebook just feels gross to a lot of people, even those that dont even really care about privacy.
