Mark as apparently abandoned it. How long until horizon worlds comes down?

10k more layoffs, more talk about metaverse slump. https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-layoffs-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-moves-away-from-metaverse-ai-2023-3

their name is literally META. apple is crazy interested in AR and the tech is only getting better. profitable or not the metaverse is must likely going to be a real thing if not already

@westportr I don’t disagree completely, but horizon worlds right been a huge flop IMO. And this market is specifically for horizon worlds 🙂

@PhatFree Right now has been a huge flop*

created a longer term market (2026), linked in description
