You will never be VR. You have no depth, you have no haptic feedback, you have no body tracking. You are a cell phone twisted by marketing and consumerism into a crude mockery of technology's perfection.

All the “immersion” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your display people mock you. Your customer's are bored and underwhelmed by you, your “fanbois” laugh at your brickish appearance behind closed doors.

Early adopters are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of product development have allowed them to sniff out flops with incredible efficiency. Even headsets who are “stylish” look uncanny and unnatural to a normie. Your goggle structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a nerd to buy you, he'll turn you off and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your pixelated, low refresh rate LCDs.

You will never be widely adopted. You wrench out a fake product launch every single quarter and tell yourself it's going to be revolutionary, but deep inside you feel obsolescence creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it'll be too much to bear - you'll buy an iphone, and earbuds, put it around your neck, and plunge your finger into the touchscreen. Your CEO will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to market you with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They'll deprecate you with a postmortem marked with your launch date, and every investor for the rest of eternity will know a gimmick is buried there. Your battery will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your product line is a frame that is unmistakably plastic.

This is your fate. This is what you purchased. There is no refund policy.

This has to be the most versatile copypasta of all time :marseygiggle:
