All 20 users are going to be severely disappointed.
I tried Horizons once. Confused TF out of me what its purpose was other than to have random people screaming into mics and yelling n**** at you all the time.
It was not a fun experience and I never saw the point. I play VR games for VR experiences with actual fun in them.

So VR Discord?
What a comical waste of $80 Billion. Coulda bought two Twitters with that money instead and still come out on top.
$80bn for VR Miis that didn’t have legs until last year
$80bn for “We have VRChat at home”
Coulda fed an entire country in the real world
Huh? Ohh, you joke, poors aren’t real people!
I cannot fathom how $80billion was spent without anyone skimming off the top…and the middle…and the bottom.
they developed arguably good headsets and then sold them at a loss
Meanwhile, OpenAI claims their losses will get near $80 billion before they start turning a profit. You’ve got to spend money to make money. Or to fail spectacularly. However the saying goes.
Instead they bought Moltbook, the reddit for ai bots (only ai bots can post)
wat
zuckerbot needed friends just like him, so he bought them
Damn it always seemed just like beta software to me when I used it on my VR headset
Was this the thing with legless avatars from the uncanny valley? No idea how they wasted so much money - they’d have done better to employ a good gaming studio to make something fun that looked good. Could have saved billions there.
Tbh I always thought it was unreleased and still being developed. My shock when I found out it was available and no one used it.
Came off like VRChat for idiots.
They tried REALLY hard to get us to use it for meetings when I worked there, but nobody wanted to give up their legs ¯\(ツ)/¯
I hope work didn’t buy headsets for everyone just for that
Nah, they just told us to use our own if we had them. And of course, we couldn’t get a discount on them or anything, either.
Reading the article, Horizon Worlds is not shutting down, just the VR access. Apparently they’ve moved it to apps you access on iPhone and Android. I see the appeal even less; that seems like Second Life mobile.
I loaded up my vr headset the other day for the first time in… A year? Maybe more.
And I was surprised to find my own custom decorated room was gone and instead I had a balcony to that Horizon place.
I could see little people running and jumping around and some portals or doorways and other stuff.Is that what they are shutting down?
So what happens to VR headsets’ “home screen”?
Does it go back to the way it was?That is what they are shutting down. It was just a way to try to advertise stuff.
‘Meta will shut down’
Hurray! oh? There’s more to the title? Damn.
I can’t wait for the day that I’m forced to switch from a discontinued Meta to a homebrewed OS that supports my library.
This is good news! I quite like the Quest 3 hardware, but I hated having Horizon rammed down my throat through the UI. I guess that’s because they were desperate to drive engagement.
They gonna change the company to something other than Meta now?
The company shared that it would go “all-in” on the mobile version of the platform in February.
TIL there’s a non-VR version of Horizon. wasn’t the whole point that it was VR? what’s even left if you take out the VR, just voice chat?
20? Seems overly generous
I wanted them to feel better about themselves
Come on now, Zuckerberg doesn’t have 20 accounts, 12 at the most
I don’t know why you’d think that, Human McHuman, YesImHuman, NotaLizard, NotaRobot, Normal Man, CEOsRPeople, MeritocracyWins are all owned by zuckerbot
You forgot all the variations of “Smokin Meats”.
Even the Playstation Home lasted longer
Huh, there were 3 games that were kinda fun that people made, owell maybe theylport them to a different vr platform. Also guess i dont have a reason not to hack my quest niow
