Just because they are in a busy location doesn’t guarantee good business. Rent must have been very high since it attracts so many people.

I'm not saying the privilege wasn't a big part of it - I would say it's the biggest component of his success. But to say that it doesn't require talent to take a company public and maintain the user base and profitability didn't take talent is delusional and reeks of knocking down others to make yourself feel better.

VR is great for certain types of games. I love my oculus. VR might eventually find a use for business but in its present form, it’s not going to work. It’s not comfortable to use for extended periods of time and the resolution and needs to be a lot higher to the point where you can’t see the pixels. Even then it would be for some niche use cases.
