I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I'm still salty. I bought a quest 1 back when it first was released thinking this is the future. Bought a bunch of games and loved it. 3 years later, the very games I BOUGHT and PLAYED through the meta store are no longer "compatible with my device". How the hell can something I already own and played for hours suddenly not work? I hate it, especially hate FB and all it's garbage trying to force us to buy the latest crap. I now own an expensive paper weight. Bah!
Wow. I’m honestly shocked. My Oculus CV1 still has support. I had been considering the Quest 3 for a while, but the attachment to Meta was my hesitation. I had already decided to go with the Index by this point, but this just further confirms it’s the right way to go. Obviously a much more expensive option, but if it means I don’t have a paperweight in a few years, it’s worth it in the end.
Valve: "We helped develop the open-source technologies that lets you run ancient abandonware from defunct studios for an obsolete version of a completely different operating system, on a handheld, for free."
Facebook: "You know that game you bought that you were playing just fine like 10 hours ago? Yeah it isn't compatible anymore despite the completely static hardware and software. Only solution I see is buying a shiny new expensive device from us and making a Facebook account, there just isn't any other way."
