A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I'd rather just not VR if meta has the only reasonably priced set out there.

I mean, up to you. As I said above, it's not like owning one of those means actively supporting Facebook or whatever. I find the whole "engaging with these companies products implies endorsing them" capitalist view of money as support very strange, but I know it's popular these days, particularly in anglo cultures.

But like I said above, it's not like a Meta account used for a Quest used on PC will give Meta any view on your data, or like they would have made any money out of you from a device they built at a massive loss that you're then purchasing used. But hey, you do you. There are other older, crappier headsets you can buy used, but Quest 2 listings out there start at sixty bucks, which is absolutely nuts for what they are.
