I won't spend money with oculus, as they're a company based on stolen technology who tried to consolize the VR market with exclusives they purchased. Paying them money is cutting your own throat.
I pretty much agree but what do you mean stolen tech?

If for some reason,now or in the future, I prefer my peripherals to be connected to cloud. Your law deprives me of this freedom. Just a thought.
No, it does not. It requires that they should be usable without. Why is that unreasonable?

The vive may be outdated but it's still some of the best fun you can have on a PC. I will upgrade eventually now that I can afford it but except for high res applications the vive still holds it own. The tracking is excellent to this day.
Setting up all those stupid sensor boxes is a massive chore that takes away the immense joy of throwing it in a backpack and bringing it to the cottage for a round of Beat Sabre. Honestly, I hated setting up, packing up and re-setting up my Vive. As a VR dev, I had to do it so often that the benefits of the sensor-free, wire-free, and; of course, most importantly computer-free operation of the Quest - combined with i…

standalone VR is pretty garbage running off a phone graphics card. The quest is only interesting where you connect to PCVR, and then its not standalone.
You should not be down voted. I can personally attest to what you are saying and I am a big fan of VR. Quest 2 games suck. Plain and simple. If you’re used to high fidelity graphically immersive deep story games, then you will never find satisfaction on Quest 2 native games. Connect to a PC for that.
Saying it not stand-alone because you need to connect it to a PC is just absurd.

There is a balance to achieve. It might be better than facebook forcing a cloud account on everyone.

> When the average person's personal computing device is barely stronger than that phone graphics card it's pretty good. That's ok if you aren't strapping two screens on your face and trying to get the to run as high a refresh rate as you can go. As someone who bought into the new VR revival right away and followed the development of the initial headsets as closely as someone outside the companies developing them cou…

#238Can anyone comment on the Quest vs Quest 2? I've heard that it's a difficult tradeoff, as the build quality of the Quest is better while the screen quality of the Quest 2 is a huge improvement. If the plan is to use one for a monitor replacement for extended periods, which is a better choice?
1: bad reason: because good-enough displays are cheap! why not double down on it.

Logitech recently(?) released software plainly called "Onboard Memory Manager." In their own words: OnBoard Memory Manager (OMM) is a utility for pro gamers to quickly configure the on-board memory profiles of compatible Logitech G mice by adjusting DPI, report rate, assignments, and by enabling the pairing/unpairing of devices. In an effort to meet the critical requirements for tournament use, OMM does not install i…
