随着Meta关闭服务器，Echo VR玩家继续承诺玩游戏。
Echo VR is a PC version of the Rift game launched in 2017 and launched on the standalone Quest in 2020. This zero-gravity multiplayer team sports game was extremely popular in the early years of consumer VR. There's a petition hoping to save Meta's first multiplayer VR game that has collected nearly 30,000 signatures, with community member and former technical director John Carmack also making the call.
However, Meta announced that it will "stop operating Echo VR" at 10 a.m. Pacific Time on August 1, 2023. In the announcement, Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth said, "Those resources can be put into other uses that I think will be useful to the millions of VR users out there right now."
"I did some math a few years ago and I remember spending about two to three months on the Echo," she said. "The Echo gives me an opportunity to go somewhere, enjoy it and have fun doing it, like having an activity that I don't have to do."
"A lot of times it's like that old song, 'Cheers.' You know, the theme song from the TV show Cheers, people know your name. Communities like these are not that big, you're not a stranger. And People will recognize you too, which feels good.”
"I just find it very sad to see this go away. I mean, I'm sure we'll still reconnect in some way and try to do that. But there's an emotion of grieving the loss that's there."
