    Fuck off, sincerely. It’s hard enough out there for game devs as it is without heartless idiots online celebrating the demise of their studios.

    Also, obviously, fuck Meta for closing them.

    The metaverse was always going to be a flop.

    I get why devs jumped in, for that sweet Facebook cash injection.

    But, gotta be realists here. It was always going to fail, and it was easy free money until that point.

    My brother in arms, my heart goes to you. I know it sucks.

    Never fall in love with your work, ever. Metaverse and VR has always been a neat niche piece of tech.

    As a dev, make the thing for that money, and always be ready to jump ship.

    I’ll celebrate every aspect of the scam that is Metaverse and the oculus rift dying off.

    Like any other studio bought by a big corporation this is the inevitable outcome and I wish the best for the employees that had no say in the matter.
