>When you say they haven't launched any major software do you just mean they haven't launched a killer app? The platform has had lots of incremental updates and continues to.

They renamed the entire company from Facebook to Meta least year, and then nothing really happened. No big software or hardware release. If anything it seems the rate of change as slowed down in that year. The Quest Pro finally came out a full year later. And the Pro feels like a VR devkit to experiment with face tracking and color passthrough - a product to play around with and hope a developer hits on a killer app - not to rebrand your company around.

Even just in gaming there's not much. Resident Evil 4 is still probably the only thing close to an AAA release and it's a port of a GameCube game. (Porting games of that era is a great idea though, hope they do a lot more it.)

Ironically I'm very close to buying a Pro as a PC VR only headset. A feature Meta barely even mentions. The other features don't matter to me but the Pro lens clarity is unbeatable. It feels so good to never have to strain to keep your eyes in the perfect spot where the entire lens is clear edge to edge.
