    I fully agree with you that Meta should not have the quasi monopoly that they have. But what’s the alternative?

      As an individual consumer… Not much. Still wouldn’t buy their product as it’s showing support with whatever little power you have.

      In a better world there would be market regulations or something to keep a massive company from burning all their money in a market to have an unfair advantage over all others.

        I’m sorry, but it’s not. Same as the alternative to a meat-based diet isn’t “have you tried starving?”. Only other inside-out tracking headsets are made by Apple and Pico (Bytedance). Both companies that are as bad as Meta. You can debate whether humanity needs VR/AR, but that’s a different topic. VR in it’s current state is driven by Meta.
