oculus rift home

I had the same thought of playing Oculus Homes again but on a server, I don't know how I would do that. Would you know how to do it?

I am very unhappy with the loss of Oculus Home.  I liked my Home and spent a great deal of time setting it up exactly to my preferences.  It seems to be a pointless and exasperating forced change, and I don't believe Meta will be able to justify the nuisance it presents to those users who will miss the Home. This is VR we're using, and Meta has just decided to lose a rich, satisfying, and immersive aspect of the user experience - the whole point of VR - in favour of a lacklustre menu that could be just as well represented by a flat screen.  The Oculus Home environment was one of the Rift's unique selling points, and its removal is very frustrating and alienating to those of us who viewed it as part of their account and self-presentation.  Why don't you just change all our usernames and virtual avatars while you're at it, while we're all losing control of our preferences anyway?

Can you weasels stop saying "we understand some experiences come to an end"? I've literally never had a company come and remove software from my computer behind my back before. This is an unprecedented violation of trust with your users. Meta screwed up big time. Nobody is saying they had to update or improve it, or even sustain the social aspects -- just leave it in place so users can enjoy what they paid for and worked on.

The only reason for Meta to have done this was complete and total disdain for your customers. Since in this case it was a small number of users, they'll get away with it without serious repercussions -- but it indicates their decision making process is garbage and they intend to treat their users like garbage. Based on the stupidity of this decision, Meta is sure to mess up far bigger things in the future. No wonder New Horizons is such a failure: Meta has zero understanding of what is enjoyable in VR, what is valuable to their customers, or indeed that their customers are valuable at all. I will never spend money on a Meta product again.

Shame on everyone involved in this.

I don't really care about losing home. What I do care about is that this isn't the first time Meta/Facebook have discontinued something that I was using. In fact it's at least the third. To be fair, you'd already lost me anyway (Between the loss of focus on PCVR and just being plain creepy as a company) but this definitely cements that I won't be making any kind of investment in your technologies going forward.

And their solution is "we're sad too".

This really is upsetting to learn that this feature is gone.  Devastated as it took me YEARS to collect some of the items in my houses and just like that POOF.  Meta, really...couldn't just let the loyal Oculus fans and beta personal keep their home environment, I've had three rifts, countless accessories and spent thousands of dollars and the best part of the night in VR was relaxing at home with friends across the world.  In a world were everyone is being divided, I guess you could not let us have a sweet moment to connect with friends in a lovely custom environment.  

Really poor form Meta...no wonder I stay away from the Facebook toxic environment already.  Thanks for taking away a simple inexpensive pleasure and helping to divide the world further!

I'll be heading over to Sony VR2 now and forget that Oculus and Meta exist!

Yes it seems that way in Canada we call that BS. And the way of the world

I don't understand all this.  I only stated exactly what happens in the real world. The evidence is right here. Maybe I've hurt all your delicate feelings. So I'm sorry if I did.  

We know what happened!!!! Why do you have a need to explain it?
