I would like to suggest a collaboration between Meta and Marvel to develop a full Spider-Man VR game for the Meta Quest platform. Spider-Man is one of Marvel’s most iconic and globally recognized characters, with a massive fan base of all ages. A high-quality VR experience that allows players to swing through the city, engage in combat, and truly feel like Spider-Man would be incredibly exciting and immersive. Such a title could significantly increase interest in the Meta Quest headset, as many fans would be motivated to purchase the device specifically to experience being Spider-Man in virtual reality. I believe this collaboration would be highly successful and beneficial for both companies.

Love the optimism, mate. Truly. But given the recent Reality Labs sackings, studios getting quietly sunsetted, and Meta's new "re‑prioritise everything that isn't on fire" strategy, a full‑fat Spider‑Man VR game right now feels about as likely as Zuckerberg personally web‑swinging into your lounge room to deliver the headset.

It's a great idea but as Meta are moving away from game development and leaving it to 3rd parties, probably better to approach independent game studios with your idea. 👍

What am I supposed to do now? I dunno. Write a strongly worded letter to Mark Zuckerberg, perhaps: Dear Mr. Zuckerberg, I hope this email finds you well, because it certainly does not find me well. In fact, it finds me in a state best described as "Q4 crisis mode," clutching my Meta headset like a stress ball while reevaluating every decision that led me to this moment. I am writing to escalate - formally, urgently, and with the kind of energy usually reserved for all‑hands meetings scheduled on a Friday at 4:59 PM - the matter of Meta exclusives suddenly evaporating into the digital ether. When I purchased my Meta headset, I did so under the assumption that exclusives were part of the long‑term strategic roadmap. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that this roadmap has apparently been replaced with a treasure map drawn in crayon, leading directly into a swamp labeled "Good luck." To be clear, this development has created significant disruption to my personal workflow, morale, and overall synergy with the Metaverse. I have attempted to realign expectations, but unfortunately, my internal KPIs for "not being annoyed" have plummeted to historic lows. At one point, I even considered purchasing a PlayStation VR. I want to emphasize that this thought did not arise lightly. It emerged the way a fire alarm does: suddenly, loudly, and with the distinct sense that something has gone terribly wrong. I am requesting immediate clarification, remediation, or at the very least, a reassuring corporate buzzword to cling to. "Innovation," "vision," "ecosystem" - I’m not picky. Just something to let me know the ship is not, in fact, sinking in a sea of non‑exclusive content. If this issue is not addressed promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate further, potentially involving additional stakeholders, a color‑coded spreadsheet, and a meeting invite with no agenda. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response, or at minimum, the comforting illusion that one is being drafted. Warm regards (but not too warm), A Meta Customer on the Brink of Scheduling a Very Serious Meeting

  Does this mean we won't see any other Meta exclusives like Batman?

    As steve_40 says, yup. It's widely publicized that Meta have decided to change their headset to becoming primarily a gaming platform for 3rd party developers to host their games. This is something they should have been doing from the start, personally I'm happy to see the changes. It's a pity about not having exclusives, but gaming companies can't make money on exclusives. A game needs to be both good, and cross platform as much as possible. Even Horizon Worlds is going to disappear from the headset.....which is brilliant news to be honest.
