Honest question. Don’t get me wrong, I’m well aware how unlikable Meta is and there are plenty of valid criticisms.

But it feels like everything Quest related gets downvoted even in here and this is the Quest community. It’s certainly not big enough to show up on the hot page.

I’d love to have a proper Quest alternative, but at least on standalone it’s currently the best (if not only valid) option. I know, Pico, but I don’t think Bytedance is the savior here.

    Bought the Quest 2 when it was in sale for cheap in 2020 plus the pro headband with added battery life.

    Never had an issue with it so far. It’s comfortable, it’s surprisingly performant. I didn’t feel like it was too expensive. I can use it for multiple hours straight.

    I mostly used it for a while for VR Chat with Steam. You quickly noticed the vast majority of folks on VR chat also are all using Quests, and it’s for a good reason.

    It’s a solid entry level piece of hardware and for awhile was extremely affordable. I never experienced any Facebook related issues. I made an account specifically for the quest, and it’s never come up as any kind of problem. Never had to contact customer support for anything.

    It “just works” and that’s enough to classify as worth the money.
