I actually recently bought a Quest 3 headset, and while it is impressive and definitely an improvement on what I had before (the long-cancelled Google Daydream for which there were no new apps available anymore for years), VR headsets still have a lot of room for improvement. I'm not someone who gets sick when using VR for too long, but I still can't use it for longer than ~30 minutes because the heavy headset simply becomes too uncomfortable. And, despite its weight, the battery capacity is pretty bad, it's only enough for a little more than 1 hour when playing games. What's more than plentiful however is the memory capacity: I really can't imagine how to fill up the 512 GB storage by installing apps...

I can also subscribe to the "call for high-quality software experiences meant to match the “excellence” of its devices" - especially the "Worlds" category (https://www.meta.com/en-gb/experiences/view/7580156855401366...) in the Meta Store has some real "gems": "Steal a Brainrot" - seriously?!
