    It’s a hostile business move to corner the market and kill off other brands

    Huh? How do you figure that?

    The brand image? They failed that speech check.

    What?

    there simply isn’t enough interest in VR to make a killing off of a monopoly even if they had one

    You and I know that but it didn’t stop Fuckerberg from sinking tens of billions of dollars into it.

      A) sell at a loss to take smaller players off the board because they can’t compete at those prices. Because they can’t afford to sell at a loss.

      B) speech check is an RPG saying. Basically they’re trying to fool the user but the users didn’t fall for it.

      C) correct. He made a mistake thinking he could get people to use VR on a level like WALL-E or ready player one. He tried to make one dystopia happen and failed because we’re not quite at the level of desperation that we need or can acceptably make VR vacations a viable product.
