Updates to Your Meta Quest Experience in 2026

Im 38, got my first business degree at age 19, and am telling you that your thinking has bankrupted several videogame console companies. You are wrong and history agrees with me. And folks who treat every industry the same bankrupt companies. Especially in THIS industry. 

You dont know the industry, or your history, and arent even informed enough about the subject matter to atempt to engage with my examples because you arent informed enough to even know about them. Clearly. If you knew your history you wouldnt completely ignore every historical example I give, youd try to rationalize them away with facts or give counter examples. You arent intelectually capable of doing that because your grasp of industry history is vapid and useless. 

Industry history makes one thing very clear. Videogame console maunfacturers can never survive losing the good will of their install base for more than one hardware launch at a time. Two cycles is enough to kill a company cold. Sometimes one cycle kills a company. This even includes many of the industry leaders. Failure to support a product line until the next line is well under way is considered the greatest sin in the industry, and Meta knows this lesson so well that they still support the Quest 2 line of products. THEY understand what YOU dont. Which is why they responded to user backlash by walking back their statements. You really dont understand any of that, do you? You dont understand that to be profitable their business has to grow its instal base over several console generations, and that gains and losses over a few years arent very important to that long term strategy, do you? Its about how much they make in 20 years. Not how much they make in 5. They are investing in futures, not now. You have a silly short sighted very now focused concept of profits. Ive always thought that business men who think in terms of short term gains instead of long term success were the hight of incompetence. I really dont care how lucky you got by knowing one business model. That isnt transeferable knowledge and youd know that if you had any high level experience working in multiple businessess across different fields. Even markerting departments in different companies in the same field often have to apply radically different tactics to win. If you think you can cut and paste what works for your business to every other business in the world, youre a greater fool than I thought. 

Learn you your videogame industry history for a couple decades and then you can come talk to me like we are equals. As it is, I say words, you dont recognize them, so you ignore them. The points still are true, you just dont know how to crack open a book and look up how, when, and why these events kept repeating themsevels. The advice you give? Bankrupted dozens of videogame companies. That makes you sound really foolish and uneducated. This isnt the industry for you pal. Console manufacturers make money not by selling you products but by being the most appealing platform. Meta isnt making money from SELLING horizon worlds. Its making money from the increased install base brought by HAVING horizon worlds. Its a draw to the platform that Steams new vr headset cant compete with. They need more draws that arent competing directly with Steam. More exclusives games, more exclusive apps, more exclusive features. Otherwise Steam will win if they try to fight Steam on Steams terms. How do I know this? I know that history repeats itself. I know how to forcaste based on past performance. You know, good business skills. But, I guess you dont know how that works, since you dont seem to see the conective tissue between past and future performance trends. 

Every console that has ever flopped was due to low install base due to low market good will. Period. Full stop. Never any other reason. If you make a good console, good software, and have good will, the profits come. If you dont, you die. Period. Are you really telling me you arent educated enough to understand that? You dont know what loss leaders are or how console companies frequently sell products at a loss ON PURPOSE? To increase user install base, brand engagement, and parasocial relationships? Do you even know what a parasocial relationship is in this context? Because I feel like this is all way above your head... 

Yep. More importantly, they lose whatever exclusive content they have to compete in headset sales with the upcoming Steam headset. Its not about selling software. Its about install base. They need to treat it as a loss leader. A service that exists to bring more people into the ecosystem and using their product. I think its insane that they think of these things terms of direct income from the service that clearly exists to bolster their other sales instead of making its own. Obviously, its a loss leader. Treat it as such. Do any of these people have any business school experience at all? 

Well I requested and i hope they deliver, no harm in asking right? If you believe you don’t deserve it other people do.. as simple as that😂
