      Yes. And don’t let the “no it’s a meta account only now” crowd play that card. It’s the same company sucking the same data in to the same ad drenched glory hole.

      This wasn’t the case with the Quest 1 until it was. You could run that completely standalone with SteamVR after the backlash over a required account, then once the blowback subsided, they reintroduced the requirement.

      We learned this last year after dusting off the OG Quest and trying to get it running with SteamVR. It straight refused to work without a FB/Meta account. Creating a new one has a bunch of bullshit hoops that failed when attempted behind any type of ad blocking DNS so I gave up and put the paperweight back in the case and moved on.

      Fuck Meta. Fuck FB. And Fuck anything else Zuck and co touch.

      Sorry for the rant it’s early and I haven’t had caffeine.
