Top-level
 @thomasfuchs I agree completely, although just want to caveat that I've enjoyed some aspects of VR. I played a game called Super Hot on my son's Quest 2 and it was... extraordinary. Like, roll on the holodeck levels of immersion. Of course, the whole *verse thing is just rehashed Second Life cobblers, into the sea with that. 2 comments
The real problem was the Hype that overpromised and underdelivered. VR has things going for it, but it also has detriments and the lack of honest communication hurt it in the long run. It is all motivated by greed. THE NEXT INTERNET! Investors are supposed to pour billions into it. It is ultra cynical, dystopian even! Human progress as a commodity, extracting as much wealth as possible for the select few that invested first. |

@tehstu of course most stuff has some highlights, but all of these things were hyped as “will revolutionize everything”
