  Quest is cheap and good hardware, but its software layer is dystopian hell. Obviously, I mean, it’s meta.

  I love the cheap access to decent PC and embedded VR on my quest 3, I absolutely hate this OS and its constant corporate spam. I know, this is kinda why its so cheap. Doesn’t mean I have to like it.

    Yeah, I didn’t think an OS could feel more skeezy than Windows until I got a Quest 3.

    A shame too, cause it’s legitimately great hardware.

    Totally agree. At the moment the Meta involvement is tolerable, but all it takes is a couple of forced ads or intrusive personal information demands.

  Isn’t buying a quest giving money to Zuckerberg directly? I don’t think I could sleep at night

    They are sold at a loss, so you are technically stealing from Zuckerberg directly.
