Meta is planning to raise prices for its virtual reality devices, executives said in an internal memo seen by Business Insider.
Metaverse leaders Gabriel Aul and Ryan Cairns told employees that the company must “make a shift” in its business model to ensure long-term sustainability. This will include measures such as price increases, accounting for new costs like tariffs, and extending the replacement cycle of its in-market devices, per the memo.
“Our devices will be more premium in price going forward, but we’ll have a healthier business to anchor on and free ourselves from feeling existential about any singular device’s success,” Aul and Cairns wrote in the memo, shared with staff on December 4.
Quest 3 was stunning at release for the price. They just can’t help but fuck about with things though. Barely use it now because of all the world’s shit cluttering it up. So fine jack up the prices. I’m just waiting on the Frame.
All the fucking around is the price you pay later for the low initial price.
Glad I decided that after the Quest 2, no more Meta devices. And now with the Steam Frame on the horizon, which still may be pricy, at least I have a choice.
An obligatory Fuck You to Zuck.
Bring it on
Too bad, decent hardware for the price is the only thing they had. Everything else is a terrible experience.
I was already almost certain I would never buy another headset from them, so thank you for making that decision easier.
oh nooo … anyways
