The thing is that you can have similar experience with 10 times cheaper Quest 3. The diminishing returns here is just staggering.

In fact people were teleporting themselves visually in 2016 with HTC Vive for 800$. I had it, it was awesome.

Honestly I'm happy to see AVP fail here to set precedence where entry point to a medium is the price of an average 3month salary (considering current global avg is around 1,500/mo) which is wildly unethical imo.



Are you saying that it's unethical to buy something that most people in the world can't afford?


I'm saying it's unethical to start a new medium/platform where majority of the world would be simply be left out.


Is it unethical to sell a luxury watch or car? Is it unethical to start a pizza shop that only delivers locally?


Not even the same thing. Watch or a car is not a platform. Clearly you're allergic to understanding my point so how about we end this here. Have a good day.
