Unbelievable to sell now , unless the rest of us 97% are reading it wrong :)
Horse mouth good riddance to you sir you've been a complete a$$ from day one! The poor EUA board have neigh idea what they are in for! sums the guy up holding through the bad times then selling on the cusp of greatness. Warra joker!
Hi Horse.mouth, happy to hear you made a decision and sold off the bulk of your shares and your back making money, in my opinion it was the wrong choice as August is proving to be the time MelodyVR are pulling it together, and with Michael Rapino personally backing the LN & MelodyVR partnership you know it’s a winner! Still, hopefully you have found ‘your winning’ share and you will still enjoy a ‘pound a share’ for the remaining 160k! Good luck with the other shares!! IMO

Why haven’t VR performances taken off during lockdown?
VR presents a safe alternative to packed stadiums and arenas, so why aren't there more VR performances?

While countries around the world are dealing with the new normal that COVID-19 has created, complete with social distancing measures, restrictions on businesses and more, there are certain things that people simply can’t do right now. Football is a big one for fans in the UK, with stadiums sat empty and broadcasters funnelling computer-generated crowd noises to help immerse fans watching at home, but it’s certainly not the only area of the economy that has seen drastic change in recent months.
The arts, particularly theatre, is suffering in the UK. The packed seats of many small UK theatres mean it’s simply not viable to offer shows with social distancing in place, and that has put thousands of jobs at risk. It’s a horrible time for a lot of people, but there’s one option that affected industries arent considering - virtual reality.
vr performances during lockdown
Virtual reality has gained a lot of traction since the successful funding of the original Oculus Rift on Kickstarter way back in 2012, with plenty of VR headsets including the Oculus Rift S and high-end Vive Cosmos Elite offering incredibly immersive virtual reality experiences.
However, despite the leaps and bounds in terms of virtual reality technology, it’s still a niche. Gamers enjoy virtual reality, but it’s rare to find an average consumer donning the standalone Oculus Quest, and that’s a shame because VR is a great source of entertainment when you can’t leave the house.
One emerging area of VR that corona-stricken industries could take advantage of is virtual events. These events allow the viewer to feel as if they were in the room, enabling them to look around, take in the environment and hear the same sounds as those physically there. It’s not an alien concept; Oculus Venues provides Oculus users with free comedy nights, performances and more - all broadcast live - and there are plenty of VR-ready performances on YouTube.
Now, take that idea and transfer it to premium performances like the theatre, or football, or even a concert - all things that aren’t possible right now. If an Arsenal fan could’ve paid a few quid to watch the game with Chelsea last weekend and feel as if they were there, in the front row, why wouldn’t they? It’s not the real thing, but it’s certainly a lot closer than you’ll get in the physical world right now.
Charging a few pounds to watch live premium events is an avenue that many aren’t considering, but depending on the content, it has the potential to be the next big thing - especially if worldwide social distancing measures aren’t being lif
And even with just 160000 if this share ever gets to sell for the golden goose $billion
That's still not s bad investment horse

Good luck to you .
It’s spelt ‘great’ but fantastic news.
You are a fine example of how not to make money.
You’ll be buying in a lot higher.
I just feel sorry for genuine EUA holders
some of you rampers will be pleased to note that i substantially reduced my holdings in mvr and as such will be moaning less giving you all the freedom to continue to pat yourselves on the back, i still have a small holding of 160000 shares but have sold the majority off over the last couple of months and investedin amongst other things in eua where i have already on paper shown a large profit. after 4 years with mvr i am glad i did this after all i can always buy back in if mvr actually get their act together. meanwhile i am keeping schtum! good luck.`
