Unity is so ubiquitous that it would have unimaginable consequences.
For example, 90% of vr games are made in Unity. So that's one segment of gaming completely wiped off the map.

Things are not much better in desktop and mobile gaming either, as Unity has close to 50% market share.
It would be a literal Thanos snap.

This is a huge opportunity for Unreal as well. I'm surprised they haven't announced some flashy on-boarding campaign.

Pretty much this.

I was asked to help mod a new community, and things were going pretty well for a year or so, but then the sub owner and the other mods gradually disappeared until it was just me and another guy left.

Well, turns out they were moderating/owning 30+ subs on average. We both quit that day.

I just can't understand what kind of ego boost they get out of being useless cunts in 30 places. How can such little power be so tantalizing to some people?

Most of these issues come down to insufficiently advanced tech.
We're just now getting to the point where advancements in display and lens technology make it possible to get rid of the screen-door effect at no cost of clarity or FOV, for instance. (Varjo XR-3)

I think 2 major things need to happen for VR to be truly mainstream;
-Size needs to decrease, which increases comfort, so it no longer feels like strapping a toaster to your face. (Bigscreen Beyond)
-More quality content needs to be developed for VR.

PC gaming is mainstream as hell, and people easily spend over $2K on hardware, so I think price is kind of irrelevant (to a point) if people can shift the majority of their desktop gaming, and comfortably spend 10+ hours in VR.

Ditto. Except I use an old Nokia from 2007.

freedom fighters vs terrorists
Media really had a field day with these over the last 20 years.

"might"?! A person with this mentality should never even be allowed near firearms!
This is the kind of asshole who shoots someone at a routine stop for coughing.

I played HL2 in VR and the original (but upscaled) textures still looked good.
It would be great to play the RTX version in VR as well because it adds so much to the atmosphere. Baked in lighting is only good up to a point.

"Forbidden knowledge" my ass. You can just Google these things.

Has the site really changed that much since the Muskification, or are people just exposed to more negative stuff because the Elon hate-bandwagon is amplifying everything?

I don't use twitter at all, so I have no frame of reference.

Really? Because as far as I know it's a pyramid scheme.

Bold of you to assume they even went to business school.
All the big wigs I've met were "self-made millionaires" -meaning assholes that used, manipulated and fucked over enough people to reach their current positions.

Also, tax evasion.
