Meta BANS ALL Children from VR Apps | Asmongold Reacts

foreign [Music] a few weeks ago regarding meta things have gotten a lot worse like things aren't looking good and it has me pretty concerned PS VR 2's release date and price have been revealed vrchat is about to support hand tracking Unreal Engine 5 makes VR look incredibly realistic and rec room is about to expel a large portion of its player base meta band's rec room from hosting 12 and under accounts on Quest W meta all that and so much more let's just get right into the news so remember months ago I talked about meta stock Free Falling and then losing about 251 billion dollars of value well wow that was bad it's gotten much much worse just this past week that 251 billion is now closer to a 700 billion dollars law that's a lot of money man that is a lot you think about how much money that is that's a lot of [ __ ] money lost the company previously valued at over a trillion dollars is now only worth 250 billion and to give you an idea of how bad this has gotten Home Depot as a company is worth more than meta right now and unfortunate that's not good that's that's a that's one way to put it hey yo that's one way to put I feel like the main problem that meta had and they've had with like explaining a metaverse is they're just whoever is marketing the metaverse they need to fire their entire marketing team because whoever is in charge of like what they present to the public is a [ __ ] [ __ ] like the idea of a metaverse the idea of like a virtual world Etc you can sell this of course what do you mean you can't sell this Sword Art Online sold it [ __ ] Overlord sells it well you can't sell it get the [ __ ] out of here you've got so much money Second Life yeah this is a million ways of this like it's not a game it is a game it's absolutely a game people are gonna play play metaverse like a video game holy [ __ ] yeah they should have done this that's how they should have tried to sell it from that perspective fortunately the quest Pro launch didn't do much to help and things have gotten so bad that I am at this point seriously concerned I mean you even have the Mad Money guy crying about meta stocks and all of this has to do with a few things but mostly meta spending and gross lack of Revenue in a quarter three earnings report reality Labs The Division behind everything VR at meta reported its worst Revenue quarter ever pulling in half as much as last year from 558 million to 285 here let me solve their problem okay Mark Zuckerberg please listen to me what you need to do is you need to have you throw away like all this [ __ ] like weird [ __ ] with like putting your character in The metaverse nobody cares about that okay nobody gives a [ __ ] Hentai sex simulator okay what has that is what people want how has video production been expanded through the last 30 years the one of the main reasons is porn you can be on that Cutting Edge you can do it but you're [ __ ] you're trying to have them make a an amiibo of you in this [ __ ] [ __ ] interactive Hentai sex simulator do that and the stock will go back up I promise you five million and they nobody directly you see nobody wants to [ __ ] say it nobody wants to admit it but it's true and everybody knows it drastically lower sales of the quest too which makes sense a whole lot of factors from the quest whose price increase making it less appealing to very few new games and applications coming to the quest and Rising competition The Quest 2 just isn't selling nearly as well as it did at launch which is kind of what happens when your device gets more expensive and doesn't get any more software the other problem that is alarming investors is the spending as reality Labs 100 million dollars billions on R D with massive wow apparently the Horizon team itself has over 1900 employees take that however you want and all of this how do you have 1900 employees and the best thing that you can come up with is the Wii starting soon menu or the Wii main menu like that's really bad bro like I I think they're taking Mark to the cleaners my definition this guy out of a bunch of his [ __ ] money this dude this dude made a lot of money he did he did some real [ __ ] with Facebook back in the day and now they're doing this so bad except Zuckerberg not only stated that they're going to keep spending like this but that they are going to spend more and that Revenue will likely decrease even further and investors have no joke pretty much started protesting Zuckerberg as he's pretty much the only one in power If This Were a different company that were organized I can respect that I can actually respect that him saying you think it's bad now oh it's gonna get worse it's going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better like why because he believes in it so much that he's willing to tank his own reputation put his reputation all of his money his entire Legacy on something absolutely I respect it like it's a that's a captain that's willing to [ __ ] be the captain of his ship all the way to the bottom of the ocean yeah a captain is going he is going down with his ship differently the board would have likely voted him out of CEO it's gotten to that point but he's here to stay and I'm honestly pretty mixed on this whole situation yeah I think this is great we give meta and Horizon they have put their foot down the middle finger to investors that are just looking for short-term Revenue they are quite literally betting the farm on the AR and VR industry and yeah everything that meta is on the line that's bad absolutely respect there's no other company in the world that is investing this is absolutely [ __ ] psychotic and insane I love it the Artistry as meta but it's also pretty concerning they spent years being pretty anti-competitive and now that the industry didn't grow how they had anticipated they bought all the best studios in the world and then no more games came out from them it's just kind of a weird situation and I've actually got a lot more to say on this whole subject I'm probably gonna end up doing a full dear meta video soon because while yes it's amazing that meta is trying so hard and investing so much money to keep the industry alive like we all appreciate it and VR wouldn't be where it is now without those Investments but at the same time losing 70 of your company's value within a year after changing your name to meta is a little scary not only for meta themselves but to the entire VR industry that they're trying to shape and I'm definitely gonna keep watching this I don't think meta is going to go belly up or anything but these next two years may be especially tough on the company and I'll also say that every tech company in the world is watching meta sync with their investments into the VR industry and it's not making VR look all that appealing I just hope that we don't have something because it doesn't look good that's why it doesn't look that good the thing is like in the same way that like MMOs didn't really like take form whenever it was like 1999 or 2001 like MMOs really started to pop off whenever World of Warcraft came out because it looked really good it played really good and it was definitive and VR is just waiting for its World of Warcraft it's just not out there EverQuest EverQuest was very big but it was like nothing compared to wow a 1983 situation on our hands I don't think that's the case but you know it's still a little scary also related Mark Zuckerberg is about to testify before Congress yet again regarding this Federal Trade Commission case for anti-competitive practices where meta was recently blocked from acquiring within a limited and who knows maybe meta is just driving their value into the dirt to get the FTC off their backs but hey that's just a theory and on the pause well the problem is that they're not selling meta and these things as places for weirdos to go online to be weirdos with each other on because that's really where people get into VR like every single good VR clip I see there's like some weird girl with like cat ears on and it's like half of everything is censored on the screen because it's on YouTube like this is what people really want like that they want a place that can transcend uh the the normal existence they live that's what that's what people want with VR uh any sort of Technology like this and it's just not there it that's that's not yeah yeah they don't want to be stuck with where they're at with who they are positive side of things Quest 3 was officially confirmed to becoming late next year but given everything we just talked about this upcoming rec room whatever it is it's not worth 100 billion I think something that can transform a person's life into some sort of different fantasy in a way that it's hard for them to tell the difference of which one it's not worth 100 billion it's worth 100 trillion it's worth everything situation makes a lot more sense so rec room is one of the largest VR social apps to have ever existed not only bringing in millions of users from pretty much any device you can imagine but also raking in a ton of investment money as one of the few unicorns of the VR industry pulling in 100 million dollars in a funding round last year and so I've spent any time in rec room you'll know that a large portion of user base is pretty young the rec room squeaker is a very real thing and this is actually aided by rec room as they've supported both standard accounts and something they call Junior accounts an account type that allows kids 12 and under to still play rec room they just aren't allowed to speak send messages or damage other players but Voice and text chat or disabled players are giving a unique username without personal information Creator tools are disabled except in private dorm room um user generated Contour front immature themes it's like yeah that all this stuff is good like I hopefully they can't hear oh that yeah oh it's disabled all right I thought they just weren't able to to say anything oh yeah it's just straight up disabled that's good this is all about to change as meta stated they would remove rec room from the App Store if they didn't remove Junior accounts from the game and this is from the apps but this is all about to change as meta stated they would remove rec room from the App Store if they didn't remove Junior accounts in the game and this isn't just limited to rec room this is Meadows requiring Requiem apps like it to block users under 13 years of age or the offending app may be removed from the quest store oh this has nothing to do no this has nothing to do with meta this is a law you if you guys ever notice this every single social media website requires you to be at least 13. that's because it's a law this is an entire store sweeping change across all apps basically sending the message don't allow anyone under 13 years of age to play or you're off the store exactly I'm officially stating that meta devices are quote not toys and children have greater risk of injury and adverse effects than older users end quote and to be fair this is a good move I mean it's kind of weird that Junior accounts existed at all especially considering that 13 years or older is the general age for kind of everything on the internet exactly but I don't because it's really changing all that much of anything it's not like real age verification happens anyways so you'll just have more kids with full-on accounts and I'm sure that's something that's definitely true that's a good point that he's making I I do think also full kids kids with full on accounts if they ever do anything they can get reported and get insta-band so at least that's a good thing I feel like it could be a neutral effect but I feel like meta is doing this primarily just to avoid liability like that's what they care about is liability kids will be banned but generally they'll probably just circumvent it this doesn't really solve all that much but from a legal standpoint makes a lot more sense that's a good move and I would say that it's weird that this is happening now and not years ago but I'm sure the last thing meta wants or needs right now is another media frenzy hit piece about allowing miners to mingle in the metaverse yeah so I think also another big thing is that like it's the technology is evolving way faster than the law is and it's just there's a million things going on and it just probably flew under the radar that's just what happens I think the same thing's happening right now with Tick Tock to be honest with like their broadcasting problems bound to ban kids under 13 from VR as much as possible but now it's time for us excitement for the psvr 2 after the price was announced okay kind of kidding but maybe not I guess this week's meme break will just be the top is that a lot the highly weighted psvr 2's price like I remember whenever I ordered the VR headset it was a thousand dollars and it never came and so like thanks Gavin appreciate that where the [ __ ] is it did somebody steal it I don't know yeah I never got it and release date were just announced today with previous sales yeah two years ago shipping February we'll probably be here next week my PlayStation VR2 will cost 549 more than the cost of the PlayStation 5 itself and I don't know what I really expected I don't know if it has a dozen games on it has more games on than the PlayStation 5 so it's not really that bad is it well maybe that price doesn't sound too bad to some people considering all the tech that's jammed in the headset but I was really hoping for more like a 300 or 400 I think that realistically right now people are still people are still paying early adopter and innovator prices for these kinds of things like you're still paying primarily for the research and development of these tools and these products much more so than the actual uh technology inside of them and the uh the parts Etc so like you're going to have to pay more money for this kind of stuff because it's on a closer degree of cutting edge products that's just that's just where it's at that's the way anything is set I mean I've tried it before and it's good like really good but it's wired and only works with the PS5 it just sounds really disappointing that to be in psvr you're in well over a thousand dollars yeah Sony did announce a bunch yeah that's such a huge barrier I think that the exclusive category is where they're really going to be pushing sales games like Horizon not that Horizon Crossfire and firewall all look really good so we'll have to see I don't know what do you think about this price and of course I'll get one and review it it's no joke the reason why I got a PlayStation 5 at all I'm just hoping that either modders or Sony themselves will enable some sort of PC VR support in my opinion I think that in the same way that remember how we had uh let me think a way to put this hmm do you remember how like back in like the 90s there were like all these different types of like storage devices there was like Zip drives floppy drives like CD drives there was like the big CDs there was VHS tapes there was betamax there was the [ __ ] those like those big uh like not not records but like actual like uh movie discs Etc mini disc yeah then there was yeah CDs nuts you guys remember that one too uh that was uh actually I'm not gonna make that joke anyway um so uh you know we had a million of these different things I feel like VR is in that place right now and it's in that betamax VHS transformative time because in my opinion looking at something like this is not appealing this is just simply not appealing it looks weird it doesn't feel like you're really in there this is It's just it's not really fully developed in any sort of a way that adds True Value to a person I think that most people like VR now for what VR is going to be and not what it is that's what it seems like for me whenever I keep hearing people talk about it Etc that's what my my take is on it and that's what my excitement is personally well I'm just hoping that either modders or Sony themselves will enable some sort of pcvr support would definitely bring a lot more value to this 500 plus headset vrchat has just received a pretty exciting update bringing hand tracking to Quest 2 and Quest Pro on their beta Branch so far this only works with the Standalone version of VR chat them stating that pcvr implementation is halted due to platform and Technical restrictions and there are workarounds for hand tracking on PC that you can use now although it's not quite the same as having full on hand tracking support it's more like controller emulation using hand tracking but not gonna lie regarding vrchat they've done a crazy amazing job the past few months bringing updates since the easy anti-cheat Fiasco whether you agree with that original decision or not from personal mirrors to user interface updates basically everything people have been asking for for years have been added in some way shape or form easily VR chats and its best date has ever been right now and the updates just I mean like you guys see what I'm saying like I mean this just looks like [ __ ] garbage it does it looks like absolute [ __ ] garbage so like unless you can have like cat girls in this and like weird types of like you know fantasy sex what where's the value at here it doesn't exist you can yeah I know that's the only reason why people use it yeah that's the whole [ __ ] point I mean I hope that they don't stop and really yeah I'm risking for now or better face an eye tracking support as well as bringing that hand tracking to PC but all in all it's just been a good few months for BRC so the quest Pro just launched with qualcomm's latest processor the Snapdragon xr2 plus gen 1 and I made my Impressions video on it earlier this week if you're interested but more Is Yet To Come Qualcomm recently announced that multiple new VR headsets will be announced by the end of the year that also include the xr2 plus the biggest benefits of this chip are that they're capable of handling more video streams essentially more cameras it's how the quest Pro is able to have double the sensors as the quest 2. of course we don't know who these headsets will be by and if any of them are aimed towards consumers at all these all may just be prosumer or Enterprise headsets but we'll have to see I've still got my eyes on HTC Vive though as they do have a new headset they've been hinting at we just know nothing about it right now but I'm not sure that that headset in particular will have this more expensive processor since it seems that HTC is aiming to bring this new headset to a more consumer audience Unreal Engine 5 launched earlier this year with some demos but two big features that push the engine to the next level initially did not support VR those being Lumen and nanite and this has all changed recently with Unreal Engine 5.2 and holy crap one of the demos shown off on Twitter displays some of the most realistic looking VR scenes I have ever seen the demo just being a simple cave in flashlight but it still looks really impressive and I know pcvr hasn't exactly gotten the most attention lately and piece VR is turning out to be quite expensive but if games end up looking like this see see we're getting closer we're getting closer I don't give a [ __ ] about exploring some stupid [ __ ] cave doesn't matter I'll go do that in real life we're getting there it's for those platforms I think it's going to bring quite a bit of attention to both platform there are just a few things that you can't do on a mobile processor the Pico 4 Europe and Asia for a few weeks now and it's been doing pretty well and I actually just got a Pico 4 turns out that as an American it was easier for me to fly to Japan and pick one up there so I will be making a video on it for sure but we have some interesting news regarding their Enterprise lineup the Pico 4 Pro and Pico 4 Enterprise these headsets are set to directly compete against the quest Pro featuring the same bass headset as the Pico 4 but with face and eye tracking built in except oh that's Pro cost 1500 and the Pico 4 Pro costs around half that at 800 but there's something pretty disappointing here the Pico 4 Pro and Enterprise are the same headset the Enterprise model being sold only to businesses and the pro model being sold to Consumers as well but it turns out that smart pro model is only being shipped in China with no plans on bringing it to the West so you want a headset that has eye tracking face tracking and pancake lenses basically your only option is to buy a quest Pro right and the Enterprise version really isn't an option at all as it won't have access to the consumer App Store I would have thought that the pico4 pro would have been an easy sell in Europe but you know it's not coming haptics a company known for their impressive Enterprise VR Globe Solutions just launched pre-orders for a brand new glove the G1 a 4 500 set of gloves this shit's never gonna happen if you have to move around like it's never gonna happen if you have to move around be walking around like that's what my opinion is it's gonna have to have some level of neural link like I don't think people are going to want to get up and move around that that's whenever it'll actually pop off if they can ever get there well if it has feedback um I mean if you can get into the nervous system with one thing you could probably get into it with other things and you can simulate the feedback Kate's a sense of touch using ice I mean I'm not a by the way I'm not a [ __ ] doctor I don't really know what I'm talking about with this okay like I I don't really know it's just what seems like it would make sense to me okay so don't take anything I'm saying here is any sort of actual fact fluid actuators as well as force feedback and that may sound crazy expensive but their previous versions cost significantly more in the past so things are getting quite a bit cheaper it should also be known that this thing is pretty crazy like you straight up wear an air compressor as a backpack but after trying the demo last CS I was definitely impressed but now it's time for question of the week from lunar lucar how long do you think it would take for compatible software to be developed to turn the psvr 2 into a PC headset honestly I wish this feature was coming at launch by Sony if psvr 2 also worked as a PC VR headset the price tag would be way more Justified but I can imagine people will mod and support for ps402 on PC really quickly just about everybody wants it to happen and it happened with the original psvr so it'll probably happen within a short time of launch at least hopefully either way when it does happen I'll definitely be making a video on it and that was question of the week leave your own down below and I may just answer yours next what do you think about the whole rec room situation and about the price of the psvr 2. I think this is just just a pretty weird time for VR right now but still a lot of pretty interesting things yeah so just wanted to remind everyone about the MC Summit event going on on November 16th it's free for anyone that comes from my channel and uses code thrill at checkout pretty much a bunch of VR industry people including myself and FIA are going to be hosting talks at the Creator Summit so the details are in the description if you're interested in coming should just be a fun time I want to say thank you to all of my patreon supporters I couldn't do any of this without you and don't forget to like this video if you loved it subscribe if you want more of this and hit that freaking Bell if you just can't live without it much love thrill out yeah I think that I think that the extent you got to stand up and move your arms around it's not going to happen it's not gonna happen well you're not going to get people to get up ain't nobody want to get up 40 pound backpack is really heavy to wear constantly yeah it's just not gonna happen uh yeah I really really hope like alarm me the [ __ ] up let's go I'm ready man I'm very excited to see what this is gonna be man it is so exciting to me yeah moving uh with an augmented reality headset will happen yeah I mean like you you almost I mean you had that by proxy with things like Pokemon go so it's only a couple of steps away and I don't think you're gonna have headsets I think they're going to be like sunglasses I think that's probably what it would be more like so it doesn't look as stupid because things not things looking stupid like this is an instant death sentence like for example like smartphones look good you know what I mean like tablets look good whenever you're using them this other stuff doesn't so that's what the difference is contact lenses surely I mean I don't know I would never want to put something on my [ __ ] eye I'll tell you that we're going to come to where we develop a haptics device it's pretty good but yeah heavy and expensive yeah I mean that's the thing right is that I mean but everything is heavy and expensive so like for example um my mom so like this is a little bit of lore uh so like my grandfather was a pilot in World War II and um it's where he met my grandmother she was like a nurse or something like that it's like you know one of those one of those things and uh anyway after he was a pilot in World War II he came back and he was a cartographer he did different aerial photography and uh whether that was for the military whether that was for uh different Maps Etc and uh so he taught my mom like I my mom knew how to fly [ __ ] airplane like straight up and uh so so obviously he was pretty well off he was doing pretty well and uh she actually went out and whenever computers were coming out this was like back in the [ __ ] 70s she and and like him like for the uh you know their business and everything they were going to spend like 30 or 40 000 at the time on a computer her and she flew all the way out to like Houston or something to be able to see it so like it is just like and think about like that was in the 70s and as big as his room yeah it was as big of a room that's why it was so expensive and so like whenever I grew up like I grew up with the computers like from the very very beginning like she had like those uh that uh what's called like an Osborne I think and she's had like every single PC from like the little tiny like [ __ ] nuclear submarine screen to like the bigger like green screen Neo wake up uh you know follow the White Rabbit and then you know we had the [ __ ] CRT monitors and then we had the you know obviously like everything else after that yeah I mentioned emissions yeah exactly and so uh silver spoon's like easy I mean he was rich uh they were doing well and then apparently like his business got [ __ ] up I don't know what the hell happened there yeah but uh that's not how it ended up but there's a video of how military helicopter simulators from the 80s looks like late 90s ran on supercomputer honestly cool as [ __ ] yeah and uh do you think good MMOs will come out to AR and VR yeah I think that they will eventually but what I'm saying is like you think about where technology is now and you think about where it was then and that was like 50 years ago 40 years ago I I think that things are going to change a lot and I think that like one really interesting like I think this is a mining Canary personally uh is uh is this I really think this is a [ __ ] mining Canary right here this is just a a window into the and the reason why it is is because of how the fact no no think about one of the main movies that like was about VR and like about how people saw VR and artificial intelligence and [ __ ] was iRobot and one of the most important and memorable lines is never Will Smith was monologuing at the robot about how the robot could never draw anything that was as amazing as Picasso or uh no I'm talking about one of the first earlier ones right uh was I Robot yeah it was [ __ ] huge in the 90s because people could not even at the time conceptualize the idea that AI could generate something like this it was not even in the minds of the population and that was only like what 20 25 years ago this 2007 was 2007. oh wow it was a lot more recent than that yeah either way you guys see kind of what I'm saying it was 2007 holy [ __ ] yeah I I I'm I'm in a Time Loop okay like I measure all time in WoW expansion so if I wasn't playing wow back then it could have been in like 1998 2000 and like four like I don't remember right but like yeah it was 2004 18 years ago yeah yeah either way it was a long time ago and like what I'm saying is like that movie conceptualized the idea that like an AI could never do something like this and I think that now seeing something that has like the capacity and there are even artists that complain about VR uh not VR excuse me uh AI generated art putting them out of a job I think this is so interesting I love it I wonder if streamers will become uh VR and AI as well [Music] please [Music]
