    Lol, of course not, you have to make an account to enable developer options to enable side loading

    The stealing of our data is how they make the headset so cheap

      Hopefully, someone is sitting on a root workaround, and will reveal it once the updates stop.

      I’d buy a second hand one, if there was a way to use it without any meta involvement.

        I’m expecting it, tbh

        I have a quest 2 and it’s actually a FANTASTIC headset, but I want to rip the meta shit out

        Not even because they’re a gross company (tho they are), I use a burner account with burner info and play in a gray room through a router specifically for my VR (almost completely lag free wireless this way, it works) but because I HATE that they made you have arms in an update and didn’t let us turn it off. They’re horrid

          What? I’m guessing they made it so your arms show up in-game somehow???

            Not in games, but in the main hub menu of the device

            It tries to guess where your arms are based on controller position
