Lol what did they even expect... Their VR team has to be dysfunctional in some way. Like my quest2 somehow got worse after a new upgrade. They added these stupid ass cartoon arms (which cannot be disabled!!) and also your headset is used as a controller after your controllers idle for 5 minutes, which became a huge pain in the ass when watching movies. (Also can't be disabled btw)

Idc about all that Facebook shit (although it'll be way nicer to not have it), but everything about the quest except the hardware is just so fucking stupid. I have way higher expectation on Apple's device... Say what you want about them, but they don't have braindead product design (most of the time hehe)

Omg I thought I was the only one who hated the arms. Nothing worse than putting down your controllers on the table and then having those stupid arms spaz out around your screen as it tries to resolve how your hand could possibly be in that position.

I totally agree. Each firmware upgrade has just made my Quest 2 worse and worse.

Haha it seems like a common complaint on Reddit at least. The virtual environment stuff in Oculus is such a shitshow lmao

And you can't reject an update. They won't even let you use your headset if there's an update available. I haven't used mine in months because every time I try to use it the battery is dead, then once I get it charged it needs an update, and by the time that's done I don't have any time left.

Hahahah fr... Like all I want is to play some simple games (eleven vr for example) and watch movies. Why tf you gotta add all these extra bs. But I guess that's just them as a company. Rift S is so much easier to use
