    When Meta bought Oculus, I boxed up my OG Quest and threw it in the basement,

    Meta (at the time it was still just named Facebook) bought Oculus before they ever released a retail product. Facebook bought them between the release of the original dev kit on Kickstarter and the dk2 in 2014. They had already been owned by Facebook for 2 years when the first Retail Rift came out in 2016. The first Quest didn’t come out until 2019, 5 years after Facebook/Meta bought Oculus.

      For the story to make sense, I’m guessing that the person you’re responding to meant OG Oculus or OG Rift as in the development kit.
