    1. Im still pissed that we never got a unlocked firmware for the quest 1
    2. We released VR Port of Vortex 9 on Meta two months ago and it only got downloaded by less than 1K players. What’s wrong with my VR online shooter?
    3. Meta took away my two games. And customer support still won't do anything. It's been a few months.
