Well, they have changed the world, they have ruined the perfectly good term metaverse with their failed product.

They also ruined Oculus by not supporting my Rift S anymore, and forcing everyone to move over to Meta accounts.

I literally will never purchase an Oculus again. I owned a DK1 and a DK2, then skipped the CV1 for the Rift S. I am done with Oculus now, maybe I will look at HTC or some other HMD instead if I ever need to replace my Rift S.

Wait, so the original Rift is useless? Like, I can finally toss it out and stop trying to sell it to someone?

Despite their company name, they have nothing actually called metaverse. Their entry in the metaverse category is called horizons.
