I always thought the entire point of them releasing this was not to make crazy money, but see how to improve upon what they built by having everyone beta test it for them. They really didn’t have much info on how to make VR successful since none of them are really big. Sure, there’s a market, but they want to know what it will take to get everyone on board not just the enthusiasts. Personally, I think it’s going to take more than just an app to get there.

"Let's ignore the entirety of the existing VR market, where Meta sold more Quest's than Microsoft sold Xboxes, and pretend like Tim Apple continues to personally invent everything. "
