Can I just say. Good.

The first gen meta headset was pretty decent. Especially as a steam vr streamer. Then the forced meta account shit happened and we couldn’t get that trash out of the house soon enough.

I wish nothing but the worst for that entire company and their future endeavors.

I’d love to break my Quest 2 out again some day but I refuse to connect it to the internet again, I just don’t know how no internet access would affect its usability

$80 Billion in VR investments and nowhere near $80 Billion worth of anything to show for it.

To put things into perspective: VRchat is barely at 100M rn and is infinitely more entertaining and usable
