I might buy one if Quest is no longer owned by Meta.
I am not going to pay that zucker.
I’m just pissed I can’t use my rift without needing to sell my privacy for a useless garbage account that will only provide me with firmware.
Huh, guess I got the better deal with the Quest 1. It’s just bugging me to login. But I can still use it with sideloaded apks and PCVR via ALVR.
Any good source for the APKs? I actually had purchased several games before they sold to Zuck and I’d like to get those back! If it’s against rules or something, feel free to DM.
There are some smart people that are making the rift-s work on linux using Monado. As I currently understand it, good 6dof controller tracking is the final roadblock to it being fully usable. LVRA wiki has more information about this kind of stuff.
seconding the appreciation for this one Internet Friend - just saw that there’s some steamVR going on the og Quest… Need to check this out.
Very much appreciate the info.
Any time any company claims their account system wont change, right before acquisition, you can give it a solid year, and then it inevitably does
But you still need an account or no? I’ll just buy something else, giving Meta any money is both completely avoidable and morally correct.
You definitely will. This requirement effectively bricked my OG Quest since I refuse to have anything to do with Facebook. I really need to look into side-loading and/or firmware projects around it. They broke the promise that they would never require a Facebook account and somehow the justice system said, yeah, but this is a Meta account, so it’s all cool…
FU Meta - you’ll never see another dollar from me. In fact you owe me $400.
