Good.

For me the real test for VR stuff, and why I haven't bothered with current VR offerings at all, is how much freedom you really have. Most platforms I heard of so far impose weird, often ideologically/culturally-driven, restrictions on your actions and content that it just isn't worth my time. Even open source software, like Stable Diffusion, can suffer from this (yes, you can edit the code to remove filters, but most people can't and won't).

Normal people, even some seniors I talked with, are starting to notice the excessive influence and control big tech is exerting on our interactions with each other. If Third Room plays this right, and I hope they do, I believe they have a genuine shot at being the Firefox to Meta's IE before it ever becomes a thing.

Good luck to everyone involved.
