This is the shit I've been saying for a little while now and everyone just says 'muh facebook'. The Facebook shit is awful, if you get hit, but you fucks need to climb out of your hole and look at the bigger picture. VR is still a struggling niche. Facebook are entirely correct in their strategy of a low cost standalone device. 

When you make a PC headset, you've instantly limited your audience massively. No matter how good the VR solution is, you will only get people with powerful PCs to buy it. There's a lack of content for VR so even most of this small group wont buy your device regardless.

The goal of Facebook right now is to get VR to succeed. They have a long term vision of domination over this industry that barely exists right now, but will one day be enormous. Right now, they are trying to get VR to take off. This means getting VR into the hands of as many people as possible, which in turn will drive content creation, which will drive hardware sales and the growth of the industry. The Quest 2 is an incredible device at a rock bottom price, so Facebook are absolutely on-point with it, outside of the Facebook drama. It is an excellent VR experience and even offers wireless PC VR out of the box. Hyperdash is an excellent example of a game that I would rather play on Quest than on PC due to its wireless perk (and I don't even need to play PC wireless, since the game looks great and runs perfectly on Quest itself).

Nobody wants to look at the bigger picture and nobody wants to actually evaluate the Quest 2 because they're obsessed with the Facebook stuff. It's frustrating.
