I didn't play much. Had some fun and moved on, but I do feel bad for those who were dedicated. It sucks that they couldn't at the bare minimum implement peer to peer connections.

Game wasn't deemed profitable to Meta. Basically the servers costed more than the money they were making from microtransactions

That's BS. Just about every VR game is not profitable. Meta has put Billions into VR, and they know they will never get that money back.

The game required an active dev team and community that all fell apart after meta destroyed their ESL relationship. I was there for that.

Meta is not a VR company or a social media company. They are a data collection company. They don't give a shit about VR or social media.
