They can close that door any time they want, all they have to do is add a paywall for a developer account.
You don't need a developer account to sideload on the Quest.
e: Checked and confirmed, though they call it Debug Mode now. Still need to sign up as a developer.
VR just isn’t going to happen for a long time. It does have a real purpose or a strong drive to use. I have meta 3 and i played for a bit but then it ended up on the shelf for a variety of reasons. It has a lot of good specific uses but struggles past that. It continued to be very impressive technology wise but something that wont be adopted en mass for a long time. Tim Cook was right to be worried about this product…
When you say "a long time" do you mean 2026, or 2029?
VR will probably never be more than a gimmick imo. AR is where the market is at. Regular glasses, with current phone capabilities, like painting the actual road you’re going to travel green would already get hundreds of thousands of adopters.
My perception is that AR is also a gimmick that won't seem to take off any time soon. How many times AR technologies have come and went in whimper?
I don’t want to see an arrow where I need to go. I don’t want to wear a VR headset.
I want regular glasses. I want the road I need to travel to be a yellow brick road. I want to see the person I’m calling in front of me. I want some details about the building or business I’m looking at when I ask for it, like opening hours, phone number, reviews.
Instead we get shitty shooter games.
