I think it's widely recognized that the era of VR - particularly social VR - is more or less completely over. It's a mouldering pile with a few hangers on, but the tech is all but dead and there's a recognition that it's no longer worth developing for.
That's a good thing, particularly considering the way that scoundrels and assholes were getting their hands on it. The minute someone pushed the word 'metaverse' into the popular narrative was the moment VR needed to die, anyhow.
I still feel a pang of longing for having missed out on it as much as I did.
