As for modding, which is huge in the Beat Saber community for adding new music and challenges, Facebook plans to maintain support — up to a point. Verdu writes, “We understand and appreciate the value that modding brings to Beat Saber when done so legally and within our policies.”

With a bunch of Facebook's acquisitions or exclusivity deals, I've been happy about them, because it meant funding in a space where it's difficult to turn a profit.  These guys were some of the very few VR devs that were making money, so it's kind of a bummer that even they can't escape the ravenous maw of the tech giants.
