Ep. 002 | The Gravy Train Hits the Brakes: Meta’s Massive Pivot

Is the era of unlimited VR funding officially over? Meta CTO Andrew "Boz" Bosworth thinks so.


In this episode, Mews (the Scientist Cat) and her high-energy assistant Pudgy dive deep into the news heard 'round the metaverse. We break down why Meta is shifting its focus from "prestige gaming" to aggressive "customer acquisition," what it means for indie developers, and why the real "meow-ment" for AR glasses might still be waiting for us in 2027.


In this briefing:

🐾 The end of the "Gravy Train" for VR content.

🐾 Studio closures and the decoupling of Quest from Horizon Worlds.

🐾 Codenames "Griffin" and "Puffin"—what’s next for 2027?

🐾 Why making the ecosystem self-sustaining is the new top priority.


Stay sharp, keep your whiskers tuned, and join us for the latest in XR.
