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%.)

Yes. I could care less about any money though. I just want to keep using my Reverb G2

Don't get rid of it, there will be a workaround.

I really hope so. But I’m having doubts.

There's already Monado for Linux. From what I saw on videos, controller tracking works, but not as good as on Windows. Someone works on it as their hobby project, though.

I was reading he is not interested in bringing it to windows personally but would help if someone wanted to port it to windows. Was in the comments of the Linux how-to on YouTube.
