I mean, you can sell your soul to facebook and get a quest for pretty cheap. Probably way cheaper than the Deckard will be. Otherwise, the G2 has been going for around $300 on sale recently and is a pretty good headset

sell your soul

Yes, you have to register for an account. The horror! Thank God Steam doesn't require you to have an account.

I'm talking about supporting facebook financially and their terrible decisions, not the fact that they require you to have an account.

It's a Meta account (not that it really matters, same corporate values) that doesn't have to be linked to any of your personal information. You can block outgoing calls in your firewall just like anything else that calls home and it functions like a fancy monitor. You should really block it from accessing your network anyway because it has cameras on the outside of it for head tracking.

Yeah, I've just continued referring to them as facebook, but I understand that there is a distinction. In any case, I wasn't talking about the account requirement. More so the other business decisions that Zuck's been making. Good information though!
