they have bought up a lot of vr companies with some very smart people in the last few years. they seem to be trying to ensure vr innovation heads solely their way… not even bothering to invent any of it themselves
currently, i think their main competition is maybe amazon. with the aws backend and their slow steady(ish) push towards gaming… i could see a big persistent world with nearly unlimited users steaming down to vr headsets in 5-10 years
and who needs actual innovation when you can have mega (meta?) companies competing to be first to market 
on the one hand, it makes sense. zuckerberg believes everyone should be one quantifiable unit that can be packaged and sold to advertisers. he himself probably has only ever presented as one person in his work, social, private, and family life
on the other hand: it makes no sense at all. if you allow one person to present themselves via multiple, completely separate channels - you’ve multipled and focused your advertising silos. two customers for the price of one
im surprised, believing what facebook does, we aren’t all already required to register a credit card or social security number to uniquely identity ourselves
