The power of this tech to distort reality is scary but what really chills me to my core is the how easy it was. To see so many trying to escape reality itself is pretty bad but that they would so willingly hand over the reins to _Facebook_?! Yikes.
I just want to play resident evil in VR because it is fun, sorry if that's existentially horrifying for you but it seems to me like an overreaction to the present state of the technology.
You are just handing over _everything_ to a company which has proven they can't be trusted. Why? For a _zombie game_?! Just to be clear, I'm not against games or head-mounted displays. But if we are not careful, a day is coming when wearing the headset is no longer a choice. That's a very possible timeline. And every dime that you give to Meta is a step towards that reality.
You can play whatever you want. This is not about you.
Overreaction? Do you see the state of the world? Meta has played a massive role in destabilizing it. You can keep playing resident evil, it's innocent. Underreaction is dramatically more dangerous than overreaction.
