I don’t think it was a completely dumb or unreasonable decision in the abstract, but how they’ve handled it has been very foolish. Facebook has very, very, very little to show for its VR efforts: Destruction of any brand value Occulus had, continued upgrades of their headset product lines (certainly not nothing, but regular spec bumps aren’t going to set the world on fire), and a VR chat app far inferior to VR Chat or even something like Second Life. It’s like Facebook’s VR strategy has just been to keep a large VR team in a holding pattern for years waiting for Apple to release a headset and legitimize AR/VR in the minds of the public at large.
