Marks really trying to force metaverse as much as possible

And I actually think that he's going to succeed at that from the looks of how things are going.

Most people shit on it for being dystopian though

Does the Quest work with other games, like maybe on steam and other platforms with VR games? I'm curious because I don't want to be tied down to signing into Facebook. So If I can use a headset like this through Steam for example, will it still require a sign in to facebook?

Facebook knows that, if they subject it as a 'must for users to sign up using a VR headset, it will cause stir, and lots of people will feel disappointed. Cos, not everyone can afford VR at its current price. 

A lot of people are no longer interested in making use of the Facebook application/site and it's going to be a very difficult challenge for the headset.

Yeah, if Facebook still go about that without taking a U-turn, they'll experience massive Exodus.

If making use of it is tied rock hard to Facebook, it's definitely going to be very difficult challenge for most people who don't use Facebook.

That headset is still too expensive for my budget. It was around $299 on Amazon.com when I had it checked out last. I can't afford it.

And there was one that was said to be at the cost of $799. Some gamers are really spending awfully in some things that I can never spend on.

Let them come and kill me to force me to pay $799 for what? Does my life depend on using it?

Lol, that's a real bizarre amount of money bro, which is to be used and make other important things of life become lucrative for us than investing such, for that kind of project.

Seriously, that amount of money can do me a lot of good right because there are so many things that I need money outside gaming for.

Yeah, it's a big amount of money but there are some gamers whom it's just a small amount of money. I have at least five of them as friends.

If your friends are rich then it means you're rich too, provided they love you. They'll always connect you to something mega and you'll become rich too.

That sucks. I always assumed that it would work with other PC ecosystems like steam or epic games. So it doesn't even work with Steam? I hope that's not true, because I won't buy one if it's just meant for the Facebook side of things.

Facebook wouldn't force me getting an Oculus VR headset just to access my account. I rather deem it surplus to requirements focus on other favourable social medias and engage more with gaming communities.
