great episode!

VR games is very good now, on Meta Quest, also on PCVR. I mostly play on VR now instead of flatscreen. Quite a lot of games to play and great new games coming too. And the next Batman Arkham game is a VR game!

Entry level price is a big thing. Razor and blades business model easily explains why PSVR2 flopped.

So my company has used Unity for the last 10 years. Recently they tried to pull some not so legal crap that locked us out of the licenses we paid for, until we paid them more over some disagreement on if revenue is based off our company Rev, or our parent companies rev. This basically was the last straw that made us fully switch the whole studio over to unreal engine. So my question is, given you're a unity investor, what is your outlook on their struggle to find a revenue stream that doesn't piss off its user base? They just announced ANOTHER render pipeline, which is hysterical. Curious how they can survive in the next 10 years.

Anecdotally, as a father of a 10-year-old, VR is already wildly adopted by my son and many of his school friends who are 5th grade and up. the name "Meta Quest" has got immense brand ID with Alpha generation, every kid knows about it or has one already, espeically boys this age. VR has gone mainstream, it's the adults who will catch up.
