Seems pretty expensive for just two random Quest games a month and you lose access when you unsubscribe.

What happens when you already have one of those games? Which I assume will be pretty common given how old many of the good VR games are at this point.

I agree, losing access to the games after you stop subscribing is a deal breaker.

It's kind of like paying for a trial 'innit? I'd very much prefer free limited trials in that case. Thanks, but no thanks.

Zuckerberg got lucky that his social media company was the one that succeeded.
Now he has a big tech company that is losing market share and no new product on the horizon.

The whole Meta / Metaverse nonsense is a desperate attempt to deliver "the next big thing" and remain relevant.

When the fuck will these companies learn to focus on ONE FUCKING THING and do that ONE FUCKING THING WELL?

There are quite a few games that I play for a month or two and then it's done and dusted. Any time something I actually want to buy like that is in the subscription, I might as well just get the subscription and I have it for $8 instead of the normal price. If you treat it like that, this seems like a good deal. But I don't know how often they are going to list games that (a) I want enough to buy it but (b) didn't buy it already.

Seems good for people new to VR without a PC.

They defiantly need a bigger selection to choose from. Though, I could see this boosting some multiplayer games that don't have high numbers.
