Who are these companies? Never heard of any of them

They are all startups making VR applications. On the one hand this is worrying as Facebook is really trying to monopolize the VR business, but on the other hand many of these companies are probably not profitable enough to survive on their own.

Yeah I see a pattern here. Meta snatching up the popular companies very early. But good for the gamers. They get good games / updates etc. No way the companies could build games at such a big scale on their own. Population one is getting massive already I can't imagine the costs to run all this

BOX Vr is the maker of Population one. One of the most popular VR games. Beat Games makes beat saber. Outside of the VR world they're pretty unknown BUT if you have a headset then you heard about them. Beat Saber is prob the most popular VR game of all time (so far) with over 50,000 positive reviews on steam
