That screenshot is still hilarious
I thought this was gone years ago
a shittier version of Roblox in VR who would have thought
Man, remember that brief window between crypto and AI when the Metaverse was supposed to be the next big technology? I’ve never seen a landlord so obviously in search of tenants. The whole craze seemed to exist because it would be really good for tech companies if we all had to pay rent on the digital offices and hangout spaces and stores they created, but the organic need or demand for any of that never existed in the first place.
So much money wasted on a product that quite literally nobody but Zuckerberg himself asked for.
Billions well spent
Glad to see Zuck doesn’t just buy and shutdown indie dev companies. He also spends millions on internal stuff then shuts it down.
*dan olson takes a drink*
And nothing of value was lost.
Roblox did it with amazing success. Meta couldn’t even come close and they changed their entire company brand for it. Such a weird fucking company.
Lol „The future“
it launched?
I just got back into using my Oculus Quest 2 and went to the Horizon Central thing last night.
Holy shit it’s just all kids. I felt like I was the only adult there. I like the idea of social interaction in something like this, and am able to get a little bit of it from the BigScreen app.
A native social app is a great idea, but when you’re putting stupid little games in it like “steal a brainrot” or whatever else, you’re bringing in the wrong crowd.
Give us bars, couches, bowling alleys. Just somewhere to chill.
Hahahahahahaaaaa goooood
Is Second Life still around?
Who could have seen this coming?
Everyone was surprised 😮
But i thought this was the future of technology
We had VRML in the late 90’s and I thought it was stupid then. This wasn’t much better
Lmao looks like a wii character.
It would be easier to just buy VrChat at the time
Making room for The Oasis right? …..Right?
But slightly *more* than five years than it should have existed
And everyone’s trapped inside because they don’t have legs
Goddamn we all thought this was the future
I am surprised that ugly thing still works
This was the „killer app“ and the reason why Facebook brought Oculus. Horizon Worlds shutting down most likely means the end of VR invesment for Facebook, or at least end the subsidy from Quest devices.
Next Quest, wherever is not cancelled, will be expensive as hell.
Metaverse race finally over, ai next
Still longer than Concord
And High Guard
And probably Marathon
Meanwhile, Second Life is still up.
There will be only one disappointed person besides investors..
NOOOOO don’t close it! 😀
Keep it going! Because it cost them money! 😀
Let them bleed.
The 5 years we had together completely makes up for the environmental and dystopian hellscape that will ultimately result from this kind of useless bullshit.
What will they name themselves now???
Wow! What a huge loss for humanity.
Fuck Zuckerberg and all these tech grifters. Actively making the world worse with their nonsense and greed.
Second life was better than most of the crap that has come out in the last decade when it comes to the yard
It actually launched? I didn’t realize it ever got outta the concept phase.
Oh well, nothing of value was lost.
Other than billions of wasted dollars but thats pocket change to the Epstein class.
Wait… They actually made this? I thought it was an idea/proposal that got scrapped because no one cared or it looked dumb. I had NO idea they actually went through with it.
