      The masterworks segue is jarring and undermines the sincerity of your video. I get that you want to make money, but maybe find a more appropriate sponsor next time.

    Not sure casual gamers can transition to VR... There is a big difference between popping into your farm for 5 minutes to water your crops between meetings at work, and putting on a massive, cumbersome, $1000 gaming headset. Until VR is like a sci-fi movie where it fits on your glasses or a contact lens, it will never be stomach able to the average person.

  • @shade_malek
    @shade_malek Місяць тому +5

    Nice, but I really think the bar to entry plus the bulk of headsets needs to come WAY down before "casual vr games" can really be a thing and hit mass market. Your formerly Farmville playing grannies wouldn't wear some bulky headset to do this, but when we can have VR/AR wearables that are just like glasses or goggles, I think we may see that be a thing. Apple Vision Pro is going that way, but still way too expensive and heavy.

    Really loved these zynga games, they were really good games during its time made by passionate game developers, Although I wasn’t on facebook while playing them! Those games were actually fun and relaxing, compared to new mobile games which are just downright scams, and shove you with microtransactions!

    FarmVille, CityVille, Zombies Island and CaféWorld were literally my childhood... I will always and forever hate Facebook for killing Zygna's games and Games on Facebook!!!
    There is nothing more I want than Zygna either wanting to re-release their games, just like they did with Texas Hold'em. Or that anyone makes it happen. Until then, I'll cry one more last time. 😢🪦💔
