For those that own a Meta Quest, is this subscription service actually an attractive offer? This type of service is pretty standard nowadays but I’m just curious how much money this would actually generate for Meta.

Because it’s certainly not going to be in the billions…

Maybe. I think it would be a lot more attractive if you got to keep the games permanently. As-is, it's just a subscription service with 2 games as of today, right? The quality of the games probably matters a lot too.

I personally won't go for it and I've been averaging $30 USD per month on Oculus games for the last 18 months. I didn't even realize I was spending so much buying games that are $20-30 "once in a while".

For me, as soon as it goes from something like one time purchases to a "must spend" subscription service to keep your games I'm not interested.
