Horizon Worlds continues to look like a product with leaders who don't actually want to use a virtual world, or understand the appeal. There is no amount of money which can fix that.

Until that changes, it won't be anywhere near as good as Second Life (which I worked on) or VRChat, despite those systems costing a tiny fraction of what Meta has spent on Horizon Worlds and related projects (Facebook Spaces, Oculus Rooms, etc.). Ex-colleagues of mine worked on this stuff at Meta for years, eventually giving up because of leadership's continual failure to grasp fundamentals of why people like and use virtual worlds.

Hmmm people worth millions of dollars, who basically won in real life and can experience/afford pretty much anything they desire don't see the appeal in locking themselves up in some sort of virtual wii sport looking universe

Perplexing...

Everywhere I look I only see desperate techbros trying to keep the money printing machine running. I'm still not convinced anything good came out of tech after google maps
