Ah, yeah what's happened with VRChat is a shame. I don't think we're building the same thing though. We'd like to go far beyond social 3D chat, that may be what it looks like right now, but our aspirations are towards building an open platform for publishing and hosting your own events, experiences, games, and applications. There's a much larger audience for that on desktop.

I think in general, from a product perspective, the way to build a big platform is to solve a small problem completely and then iterate. But that's your choice.

(Firefox made the same mistake, I believe: there's no market in being the second-best product for a large userbase, instead of being the very best for a smaller.)
