It should still work fine with SteamVR right? I'm not too pressed.

Will it? I would love to try out VR gaming but I really don't want to be locked into meta's ecosystem.

It currently does, I still use mine both standalone, and linked with my desktop on the oculus platform and SteamVR, since i disliked how cheaply made the oculus 2 was.

Right now I'm waiting for a competitor to the quest to even appear on the market, since there doesn't seem to be any other standalone option right now.

There's the Pico 4 - but the company behind it is ByteDance. You might know ByteDance from their other product: TikTok...

So in the end it would be out of the frying pan and into the fire, I think.

Yeah I'm not eager to go from sending my floorplan to zuck to sending it to the CCP, lol.

Thank you for that info! I have a really hard time spending a lot of money on myself so I've been putting off buying a vr set for years and years now, but if I was to get one it would be valve or pico because screws Facebook. Now I guess it's just valve though...
