    It’s a shame that Oculus was gobbled up by them, and a shame that they seem to be the only ones capable of making an untethered unit.

    I’ve used the quest, and could take or leave the built in stuff, mostly leave, but the untethered desktop VR experience was something else.

    I just won’t ever buy a Facebook product.

      Weren’t they talking about adding ADs right in VR ?

      Seriously, what a nightmare. You try to escape reality playing a video game in immersion through VR and you get served ads ?

      That added to privacy issues at Facebook, I would never touch that product.

      Yeah, I’m still using my Quest 2, but I’m sure in time there’ll be a really good offer from someone else, and I would buy that. I’m really interested in what Valve might have to offer soon

      Unfortunately, Oculus was started by a Maga head so… I’m not sure who is worse. Probably the Maga head but Zuckerberg sold privacy data to Cambridge analytica.
