And they will. I’ve had a Quest 1 for ages and recently went to hook it up again and it had forced Facebook accounts. Used to be the gen 1 could still be used with just an Oculus account or “offline”. That’s no longer the case. We decided to make a FB account to use with it (never had one in the past) only to find that it couldn’t “authenticate” properly with PiHole running… so I now have a piece of e-waste that used to be a functional headset sitting on the pile.
It was a beyond frustrating experience and made the option of ever purchasing a gen 2 or 3 a null factor. I’ll stick to the Rift and Index and deal with wires across my living room.
I’d want to play primarily SteamVR. But I’m worried that Meta could flip a switch and I’d have an otherwise useless $650 eyemask.
If I can decouple the headset from needing updates and can have work solely over LAN I’d be sold. Maybe I’ll block it on my router if I had one.

Yeah, that’s a fair concern. I wish somebody would create a custom ROM you could replace the Meta shit with or something
