    Well, if I didn’t have to make a face book log in to use one. If not for that I would consider one to play in steam. Even if I had to have it tethered.

      Same sentiment except additionally I will never buy anything from Facebook because they are radicalizing people.

      Not going to buy an Apple Vision either if it won’t behave as a generic screen for any OS.

      I am utterly sick of the account requirement and proprietary connector bullshit from every company.

      I am still so incredibly salty that my quest 1 is a paperweight because of this requirement.

      It did not exist when I purchased the product. Full Stop.

      When they introduced to that requirement with the quest 2 you were able to use the quest one without it with no issue. Sometime last year we tried to hook our quest one up to Steam Link and were met with a Meta Account requirement. There was no way within the UI to get around it.

      In a moment of frustration, wanting to play some Beat Saber with the family, I went ahead and started the process of making a meta account only to be stopped several times along the way by various privacy layers on our network. It was insane. My PiHole about caught fire.

      30 minutes in I gave up and dug out the Vive Cosmos and all 20 wires it needed. So disappointed meta is the only wireless headse with decent battery life. They ruined VR adoption for me.
