I’ve had a Quest 2 since the covid shut-in era, and I now only ever use it to watch the Netflix and Prime Video apps — both of which are basic and haven’t been updated for years. Which is weird, b/c right now, the home theater experience is one of the only things that VR indisputably (for the most part) does better than non-VR platforms. Right now the main flaw is that these basic apps stream at a low resolution (480p in Netflix’s case)
It makes no sense why Netflix/Amazon would neglect apps for a 20m userbase. The most rational explanation is that the VR userbase still has a very low active/attach rate. Maybe Netflix/Amazon aren’t excited to help Meta, but it’s not like they’re making their own VR headsets yet.
