Epic Games Founder and CEO Tim Sweeney said: “Magic Leap has truly created something magical in this combination of hardware breakthroughs and software innovations, which represents a giant leap towards the coming spatial computing revolution.”

Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games and head geek for Unreal Engine 4, must have tried Magic Leap One and he doesn't strike me as someone who just goes ahead and drinks the Kool-Aid. I guess we'll all have to wait and see.

The triggering point is just the belief that just because entity X received Y dollars in funding, that X has any legitimacy. There are more than enough counterexamples in the valley (juicero, theranos, bodega, etc) that demonstrate investors really lack the capabilities or wherewithal to conduct proper due diligence. The downvotes you are getting is a direct reaction to this.
