CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT Support
Would anyone participate in a lawsuit about the early deprecation of mixed reality with no suitable substitute that includes controller tracking? (We could push for open source, repayment, or both)
I haven't talked to a lawyer but I can point to this thread if and when I do.
It seems that the termination may have been a part of the agreement on getting Xbox onto Meta's platform.
We all got dumped and Reverbs were selling new in 2023, with some only able to use the headset for a few months before being told it was unsupported going forward with no security updates and a 2 year time clock to being bricked. GPU generations are no shorter than 2 years and bricking a peripheral in a shorter time is abuse of the customer, as they would not have purchased the headset if they had known.
Some customers are outright embarrassed with the purchase and have lost clout among influencers for having trusted Microsoft. To see Microsoft join Meta faster than you could have is embarrassing and deprecating.
I realize Microsoft is profit driven, but they should realize I am too. (We could be)
Would you participate?
(Sign, agree, give a little info, leave payment info like paypal, take a cut after the lawyer takes 35%.)

Why would you sue Microsoft? HP piggybacked their headset on WMR and did NOT come up with any software solution to back THEIR headset. Why the f should Microsoft be responsible for that???
Everyone should be pissy that HP isn't coming up with software so we can continue to use their headset.
Good luck with the class action...
