Sansar , High fidelity , vrchat ... they all struggle to get traction (and mostly fail) - why does facebook think they can do better

I guess one reason might be that they have a pre-existing social network to draw from, so much easier to coordinate social VR with friends.

Not saying that is sufficient, but it definitely helps compared with a startup that has to rely more on having strangers interact or, if meeting with friends, is likely to be higher friction that FB can offer.

sansar has second life, probably the biggest congregation of virtual world users

One thing that sprang to mind is that they own the hardware too and can integrate Horizons tightly with the OS.

the question is more whether they can sell oculus to facebook users rather than facebook to oculus users.
