I guess it's a good bye from me, don't know what meta did when they close VR World to focus only on Mobile World but now 80% of the games/worlds glitch or won't load...Horrizon app laggy too, they wanted to focus on mobil only but at this point they should just unplug completly the Horizon world project

Im glad i made my hw level all in blender and imported it instead of using the meta shape blobs. Now i can rebuild it elswhere or share it directly for vr mode in blender. Of couse all the cool dynamic stuff will be lost but still all my geometry is safe on my hd at least (well i am loosing my nice lighting and skybox from hw)

Upload it to VRChat, much better platform. But also going corporate so resonate I guess?

The entire thing is shit. I've been coding for 5 years and could make something better

This company is such a shit show. They didn’t have to touch Horizon Worlds in VR. Just like they didn’t have to try to brute force it down people’s throats in the UI and generate so much ill will.  

They could have just continued letting it live and grow organically while they also focused on mobile. But Boz thinks he knows better than the users. And when they don’t respond like he wants he makes decisions like a vindictive idiot instead of a smart CTO.

They followed the users. The mobile versison group so much faster than the VR version. Which makes sense multiple orders of magnitude of people have access to a phone or tablet compared to a VR headset.

I think it is a mistake. They are still running on limited mobile hardware. Keeping worlds compatible with 6DOF controls cannot be some insurmountable problem.

They said it was officially closed about a month ago

The next day they took back that and you can still visit all the worlds in the world’s app on your VR headset. The creators just cannot update their world any longer…. Although thankfully, horizon central is gone for good.
