Meta will brick my headset unless I tell them my birthday within 30 days, and just by using the device it links to multiple emails, my phone number, phone, and laptops. The OS feels cooked to grab data and many of the TOS agreements say it explicitly.

But at the same time it's under £300 and doesn't even need a PC or PS5 to run it.
A PSVR2 with console will set you back just under £1000. A Valve Index setup with good PC is probably going to be close to £2500.
It's not hard to see why the Quest outsells all the others by miles.
You either pay with money or your data. This clearly shows the value of your data.
Very true. I'm definitely softer on Zuckerberg and his company after owning a couple oculus headsets, my misery is less, I live another day. It feels like doing something I know I shouldn't do but I can't help but enjoy it.
