Absolutely. The 'hive mind' here is so narrow minded and shallow that it's super easy to predict 3/4 of the comments on any given article. Probably because the all the comments are from the same 5 people.
I think about people on reddit complaining about reposts as I scroll past 50 posts of the same article posted to different instances by the same person.
I agree. Most people are acting like they are killing off the whole product line (of which there is only one product currently). However, the article clearly states that a second generation product is in the works.
This could have been an absolutely insane product, if they sold it without all the useless bullshit like the facial passthrough, at a decent price. As it is, especially given how fragile it is, it's just a toy at best.
It's basically taken the exact opposite route of something like the Xbox Kinect, which turned from a toy into something people use in science
How they can justify that price for a headset with no third strap is beyond me. If I’m paying three grand for a headset, it had better feel like nothing is on my face.
Well, they forgot that hardware needs an actual purpose once you're done with the market of people who purchase any new overpriced gadget to use as status symbol.
Aw. A cute little comment that fits nicely with the article headline.
Thanks for saving me time by giving your summarized dissection of the article and the implications it has for apples product.
Oh and btw all tech products stop production at some point, because you know, apple isnt a dumbass that pumps out products without regard for demand as they are creating a successive model of the product.
