    Makes sense, they came out with Mozilla Hubs .

    Honestly this stuff isn't all bad. I attended a virtual music festival called Secret Sky in 2021 and it was a great experience. You got to travel around the festival grounds and there was proximity chat for meeting people.

      that festival thing looks pretty cool.

      also agreed, vr isn't inherently bad. there's some really fun intuitive games with vr: fantastic contraption, phasmophobia, time machine, elite dangerous, etc.
