      I do. But I have a Quest.

      I hate that I had to subscribe to Zuck’s shitty platform for it, and I would wipe all trace of Meta’s social stuff from it if I could. I don’t use any of it, I mostly play tethered to my PC or single-player, mostly offline stuff.

      But unfortunately, for the price, there is nothing that comes even close in VR/XR hardware.

        I’m in the same boat, with a Quest 2.

        My plan is to use it until it’s no longer working, and then replace it with something from someone else, assuming civilization still exists by then and my desire for higher-resolution Beat Saber is still a concern and not scavenging for food, or fighting the raiders or whatever the hell.

        I don’t get the ‘oh throw it out and buy a thing that’s not from that bad company!’ responses: that’s the same dumb shit that led to people breaking beer and burning Nikes, which I can assure you nobody gives a shit about as they already have your money.

        I also have a Quest tucked away somewhere, given to me by someone who got a newer version. I was planning at some point to take it out and tinker, hoping there was a way to use it without a Facebook-account. But I was perhaps a bit naive to think that?

        When I got a quest, I signed up as a developer so I didn’t have to use Facebook for it. Also use it with Steam VR.

        I wonder if that is still possible now.

            If it’s possible, I might be interested in it. But only if I don’t need a Facebook “developer” account or whatever. If it works, I’d appreciate a post and a guide. :)

            I just want an inexpensive VR headset for Steam.
