Bonus: it also seems that the episodes have been rolled into the base game. Full details of the anniversary update.
The last PC I built was less than a Valve index. We're in !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works, I can wait.
With the Meta Quest 3S coming out this holidays you may be able to get a used Quest 2 dirt cheap, and that'll do just fine to play PC games.
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.
