Yes they did. I was at WWDC, and they punted to the upcoming version of the headset that would do what they already claimed it would.
From the horses mouth: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2024/02/apple-announces-more-than-600-new-apps-built-for-apple-vision-pro/
None of the mention of gaming is true or possible with the current gen, and they specifically said they were developing an "upcoming headset for gamers" that was tailored to this. Now it's cancelled, and even if you pull the "well, they REALLY meant..." bullshit, they specifically talked about how "easy" it was to port games from the App Store, which was never possible. Flat out bullshit.
Lmao you're honestly telling me that this is an announcement of a gaming headset? HAHAHA
Bloons TD 6. Cut the Rope. Fruit Ninja. NBA 2K24 ARCADE EDITION.
All of this mentioned way below stuff like watching TV.
Yeah mate, totally. A headset for gamers HAHAHAHA.
Do yourself a favour and just take the L. They were never developing a gaming headset. By your metric of a gaming headset, Apple also designed the iPhone as a "gaming phone", the iPad as a "gaming tablet", and shit, even the Apple watch as a "gaming watch".
When people say VR gaming, they generally don't mean games on the tier of angry birds or doodle jump. They mean actual PC VR games.
