> But it feels like fb is abandoning all of it and going full force to metaverse. It feels like fb wants to be either the biggest or nothing.
It is Meta, which includes (Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram and Oculus) that is pushing for this 'metaverse' thing and this reminds me of Microsoft trying to own everything in the software landscape as soon as they won the desktop PC industry.
The failures of Ping (Apple), So.cl (Microsoft) and Google+ (Google) was when Zuckerberg knew he won with social networks with FB and has already expanded beyond FB very early and quickly.
> Also isn't like 95% of the engineers at facebook all mainly web developers or related.
Where did you get that figure from? I hope you are not being serious about that claim.
> And metaverse is basically game development.. something facebook has no experience in.
So Oculus isn't in games development industry? They have been selling shovels to game developers and companies for years.
> ...Maybe they should acquire or partner up with epic to have some hope.
What is this then? [0]
> is fb done for?
No.
I would not bet against the first and the fastest company to reach $1 trillion dollars in the 21st century to be quickly dead in the next 10 years. Meta is more than just Facebook.
