There's a new rumor that Watch Dogs is dead, because Legion was a failure. Which seems like a big shame, because the franchise had an interesting premise.

Good progress. Don't think I'd want a 3rd party headset though.

As a kid in the 90s and early 2000s video calling felt like some far off thing that'd never actually become common. I could only imagine weird home phones with tvs stuck in your wall. Then of course smartphones took over and became the obvious solution.

On the opposite end, I really expected humanoid robots two decades ago.
Sony's humanoid robot learns how to jog

Sony had the great qrio robot that was pretty close to going on sale for only a few thousand dollars. They made it look so intelligent and capable, yet a lot of that was highly exaggerated for marketing.

First, the company said that it will make the operating system behind the Meta Quest headsets, Meta Horizon OS, available to other companies to create third-party hardware.

It already has a handful of partners on board to make headsets, with ASUS Republic of Gamers creating "an all-new performance gaming headset," while Lenovo designs one optimized for productivity and entertainment.

Meta also said it will create a limited-edition Meta Quest headset "inspired by Xbox," and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg suggested in an Instagram post that one could make a VR headset bundled with an Xbox controller and Game Pass so players could play on a virtual big screen TV wherever they happened to be.

Meta is also opening up the Quest more on the software side of things, saying it will make it possible for Quest owners to play content from other storefronts, like Steam, Xbox, and potentially Google Play.

Ehhhh seems.... Ehhhh... Hugh Jackman really should have let Logan be the last wolverine role/movie he did. It ended on such a high. Now it will end on such a low.

What a failure of a company. Go from FU money to this in just a few years.

The split doesn't sound too bad, hopefully things start improving for them.
