I'm not sure why they tried this.

'We made a VR games headset, but replaced the games with office related programs, like calenders and notepads'

Did any of them ever use an Oculus Quest? Like, why did they try this? Is this Apple's Google Glass moment? Did they really think that if you pay enough youtubers to wear it in public, normal people would magically go into car-level debt to emulate them?

In fact, I'll go as far as to say this campaign and price point was a bigger mistake, and a louder failure than Google Glasses.
