And at the same time VRChat is reaching record popularity and user counts with tiny fraction of the budget Facebook wasted.

And it is so simple - just listen to your users and give them what they want - which seems to be VR cat girls.

I think that's the issue Meta had, they were trying to introduce VR to the greater public. VRs actual community is a niche of individuals who love the technology, they didn't want what Horizon was offering. VRChat is too weird for the average person, but Horizon was not interesting enough for the average person either.

I do believe that the recent Meta headsets pulled in a lot of users who will stay, thanks to their price point and performance.
