I’m not sure many people think of Beat Saber as a fitness app - even if it can technically be used that way with modifiers, as the suit points out - and this is hardly the first time Meta has attempted to acquire a developer of an incredibly popular game on its platform. ![]() The proof is in the pudding, and as I already mentioned, the logic behind the suit is wonky at best.
