As much as I wanted to get into VR, Meta taking over the Quest has thankfully saved me countless sunken dollars and hours.

Sold my barely used Quest 2 a few weeks ago and had a real hard time getting even $235 for it.

It seems strange to raise the price of something that has been on the market for a while, right?

I do love my Quest 2.

I wouldn’t use one for free right now. There just isn’t a compelling experience there yet.

It's a strange move given Facebook changed their name to promote VR and the Quest is their flagship device. Also surprised that after mass producing this device for almost 2 years their manufacturing and supply chain costs aren't dialed in enough to maintain the current price. The message here is that VR is 'failing'. I hope it's not, but that's the message with this backwards move.

I feel like an old grumpy man saying this, but I hate the idea of wearing a device on my face to literally hijack one of the precious senses one has. I'm sure over time I'll look back and laugh at myself for thinking that way.

I'm shocked that there aren't more multiplayer VR experiences. Yes, sure, there's Pavlov and VR Chat. But unless you have a friend who's into VR Chat, it's remarkably difficult to find a game that can immerse two different people at the same time.

It felt a bit ironic that mini golf was one of the most fun multiplayer party games.

My wife was like "You should bring over your quest 2!" to our new house -- she already has an Index and some other high end headset. I asked "But why?" and we couldn't think of a good reason.

Maybe the epitome of VR is always going to be a bunch of friends sitting around watching one person play it, but it felt like there could be something more. Something like a Star Trek bridge experience or... something.
