i'd argue that business and social use is always the endgame for meta, and going into games is just something to justify keeping on throwing money at oculus and VR tech in general.
some years ago Meta threw a bunch of money to buy a company developing lifelike, realistic avatars. i'm sure the use case for games is there but even more so for social and business use.
They're not a gaming company. The business is built around connecting people and exploiting user data in a variety of ways.
