The waffle house has found its new host.

that's sadly how it is with current day tech, one day you'll have the best device currently out and the next there's 20 new products that do it better

Save up for the Apple Vision pro for many years, Apple doesn’t just kill devices. Some of their 20 year old Macs still work great.

Me2 dude, I paid 800 for Quest 1. Then, a few weeks later, they dropped Quest 2, and now I can't play really anything on it 😂😂

i feel you man same here

Similar thing happened to me with my quest one. It still pisses me off to this day. The day my headset got to my house like two days later the quest 2 was announced

For that to work the company running the VR space would have to verify users age. Maybe some spaces for over 18s that require ID could work.

@@Toby-Wan-Kenobi No thanks for those IDs, there are plenty of ways that already exist to separate social VR spaces by age without IDs.

@@Monitice i agree, but without active or community moderation, squeakers will always find a way into where they shouldn't be

@@Moniticehow? I thought it was either privacy breach or not secure enough?

@@Monitice What's wrong with the ID method?

The Quest was always e-waste-in-waiting due to it's non user-replaceable battery.

@@zig131 And I should be able to use it until the battery goes. And anything is user-replaceable with the right tools and knowhow.

Yeah, my Wii still works even though it's been completely abandoned for years. But I can still play it and all the game discs I have, just can't go online.

@@hyenaedits3460 when steam dies one day, so does all your games.

@@SINfromPL and thats why i hate using steam. (not just that but also because anytime i wanna play one i have to wait ages for steam to open and update as well, UGH)

Ayyyyye I agree😂

lol great comparison

Chad

True that!

Samurai

Thanks for putting in the question! I really appreciate it and I really love answering and giving opinions on QOTW. Thanks for being around! Much love

@@ThrillSeekerVR hi should I sub?

True

Roblox would definitely be a safer place for them and roblox is also in general a really good platform for games already probably one of the better companies to try to compete with vrchat

Definitely only slightly lol

@@shujihar2410 roblox is the safehaven for pedophiles its not good.

Slightly by like a sliver

Yeah exactly, this is why I'm holding off buying one until the Quest 3 comes out, 'cause I damn well know they're gonna stop supporting it way too soon as we're already going into year 3 of its existence.

@@firalia at that point you might want to look into other headsets

@@geoshark12 Eh possibly. You can't really beat the Quest's price though.

Real, but. On black friday last year I did see a quest 1 being sold at walmart. Only 1 quest ome, but it was there

@@geoshark12 Bigscreen has an amazing product.

Exactly, that's the scam. All of the hype of the Quest platform as Cheap VR ignores the small fortune people spend trying to make it a tolerably comfortable experience if they don't just leave it in the box in a closet instead. The Quest platform has been a downgrade in value from the Original Rift for PCVR, and almost no one who becomes an enthusiast will remain content with stand alone VR.

That's a bummer

I’m glad you said something, the exact same thing happened to me to. I bought the headset in July, then was kicking myself when the quest 2 came out a couple months later. I feel your pain and wish Meta had at least refunded quest one users, but instead Im stuck with an old outdated headset.

its been out for a while

That's what happened to me with my Oculus Go. I got it in late 2019, and they stopped supporting it in 2020.

It was very well made! Good work

​@@ThrillSeekerVR runoff is coming soon :)

You would not believe what meta would do lol. Edit: Why the frick is this at 101 likes.

That's what I would think unless issues are caused with lack of updates

I’m guessing you can play your games but won’t be able to play any multiplayer from the sounds of it.

My Oculus Go was basically bricked shortly after support for it stopped

Other companies have done that before, like Samsung with their S3 and the 4.3 update being the nail in the coffin.

Hello! Thanks for all the support I really appreciate it. Super glad to have you around! Been a wild 4 years… onto the next wild 4 years! Thanks again and much love Molly!! :D

You got VR headsets at your school?!

This is pretty punk

Agree 100%! The Q1 is faltering in terms of standalone performance and is heavy, but PCVR is great with it at native resolution and without a wire.

There's this magic button, it's called the 'subscribe' button, it means you don't have to rely on the recommendation algorithm youtube feeds you, you can CHOOSE what you watch...

I love the outro song. Keeps me watching till the end. Always a quality production.

Same for me. It kinda got me through the pandemic... Psychologically mostly intact.

Surprisingly Quest is the most affordable as a gaming device and pack full features than anything before or after it

Yeah, the quest 1 is the thing that got me into vr and got me through the pandemic, it sucks that they're just going to drop it, so much nostalgia from it.

@@jaxmax9618 Drop what?? I heard you can still use it to play apps, games, and online

@@jaxmax9618 I mean it makes sense. Older software holds back developers for the new headsets. It is what it is.

😂

I hope they don't somehow scuff pcvr support. That's really all I ever used the headset for in the first place

@@prodn0body I mean they did stop releasing updates. On top of that. The dev of virtual desktop doesn't plan on ending support. The Oculus go was rooted as well when they ended support. So it will be interesting what will happen to the quest 1

@@Dtr146 in what way is oculus go rooted?

@@RogerEssigArtist go to the Oculus go subreddit. they have a guide there.

@@Dtr146 oh, ha, I misunderstood what you meant by rooted. aussie slang for 'fucked' but yes, I found the guide you mentioned, cheers

Preparing myself for the flood of people about to ask why they see you everywhere or what's going on in your Profile Picture.

@@Taggynn Nah, no one's gonna see this comment :b It'll probably fall pretty low in the comments list, and as funny as the replies are, they probably won't be found here!

@TheGamingGuide Most Probably.

@@Just_a_commenter There will always be at least a few. Flood may have been an overestimation, but there will be a few lol

Felt

I was looking for a reason to upgrade aswell, I don’t know why I’m as mad/sad as I am about it, past maybe because it was my first proper VR experience, or because of how new and exiting the idea was when it came out, probably a mix of both.

@@chilledburrito I understand it is my first and still only proper VR headset. My mom gave me her old gear a couple of years before, and it was an excellent way to get used to VR before I took the dive and bought my Quest.😁 The first of anything has such an emotional attachment.

I don't think it has enough RAM to do that and run games

thats hardware not software

Well, the head set clearly already has overlays with the menus as well as the casting already being a thing. As for the ram. I don't see how it would take up more space than the casting system already would.

that’s possible with openxr as long as running multiple apps at once is possible on quest which I don’t know.

It would be really nice to at least be able to have 1 or 2 browser tabs open while in a game, have a wiki or video open.

Same here, I am not getting another Oculus headset though. I'm tired of having to use Link.

@@uptightsl Have you tried Virtual Desktop? I only got a Quest 2 because of how well Virtual Desktop worked.

@@uptightsl I get that, I do occasionally use airlink though which is super nice in a big space

Why would you buy another quest if they will just turn it off in a few years? I would never give them my money... It seems to me like a scam.

@@thimblemunch24 Why would you buy a new smartphone when they stop providing support for it every 5ish years?

Want phantom forces in VR. Heck Starcape too so i have something that even remotely looks like No Man's Sky

Yeah, the Vr Hands experience in Roblox is pretty well done. If they can invest into making games like that officially supported, it'd really put a fire under Meta's ass.

Wait, wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy a link cable? My 16ft long one was $20 on Amazon! Consider that instead

@@biankah That was one of the first things I purchased when I got my headset. The USB port on it won't hold a stable connection to my pc anymore.

Apart from the terrible moderation on Roblox.

Roblox is an absolute money-sink. Almost every game is designed to be pay-to-win. Kids play VRChat because it is 100% free and they are on an even footing with everyone/their friends.

@@zig131 in Roblox it’s up to each creator if their game is p2w.

@@Toby-Wan-Kenobi Sure. But it seems like the popular/top-ranked/top-listed ones are. Clearly the company is going to bury the ones that don't make them any money and recommend the ones that do.

@@zig131 Roblox doesn't have to do that, most experiences that don't earn money will bury themselves because ..they don't earn money

how are the controllers

@@zyonss so so, I had to replace them 2 times. 2 link cords. But the HMD still works like new.

@@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263 plus, down the line, you can easily upgrade to the Knuckles Controllers

@@DiamondDepthYT Yeah I know. My friend has them. These are not dead yet

@@zyonss I've had mine for 5 years and there's not been any issues with them yet

That's true but basically only applies to Standalone. The Rift CV1 - Meta's oldest headset - still works great. They can only justify abandoning Quest as - due to the non-user-replaceable battery - they will all be e-waste in a few years if they are not already.

True. My OG Vive (backup) will still work if I need it to. It's 5 years old.

Cabby is awesome

Quest 2 already exists

Well it'll look like shit, but you can actually lower the resolution in SteamVR. Also obviously it's not the same, but VRChat at least can actually be played in desktop mode, and it performs a _lot_ better.

Did you get the 2 year warranty? If so you can break a part like the controller and bring it in and claim the warranty and you will get a quest 2.

@@lucasonfire_5214 First that would be immoral. Second, no they just would either deny it or send you a refurbished guest 1.

@@TheWildcat_YT First, who cares if you think it's immoral or not, you are getting a horrible deal with your quest now not able to be used. Second, they would not deny it as it is a 100% warranty, and they will give you a quest 2 (as long as the monetary value is the same or you may have to pay a bit more) as they simply do not sell quest 1's anymore. I know this because this is how I got my quest 2.

Without traditional VR support Roblox will not be able to get even close to Rec Room in terms of VR popularity

Got you!

@@ThrillSeekerVR I've marked it down on the calandar along with rare eclipses and celestial alignments.

yooooo thats your game! you made that game!

Meta isn't a person and I'm pretty sure Twitter is still bigger than Facebook and Instagram

@@Fancy2209Real it’s not nearly the size of either

Meta really isn't, they hold a majority share yes, but when it comes to HARDWARE they haven't tried to stop competition, it's just that no one wants to compete, not Google, not Microsoft, not even Valve seem interesting in touching meta

@@Fancy2209Real facebook and instagram is much bigger than twitter

@@Fancy2209Real I am sooooo glad you are wrong twitter is the dumpster fire of social media

Ask Reddit, they know everything

My bet would be that the Quest 1 itself would be capable of using PCVR, but the Oculus desktop app will likely stop supporting it. If I'm right, you could still use it as long as you make sure your Oculus app can never update. And even then, the internet is full of people who hate facebook so they may take it into their own hands anyway.

He didn't say that.

@@chibi_bb9642 Good thing I've never used the Oculus desktop app for my PCVR adventures then :P

@@cenciende9401 he says the following "I do actually know quite a few people that love the original Quest not as a standalone headset [...] but as an OLED PCVR link headset. And to those people, yeah it actually does kind of suck that a headset that could be used indefinitely [...] is pretty much just getting the chopping block after this year". While he does not say it outright, it is heavily implied with this choice of words. Otherwise, why talk about it getting the chopping block in the context of PCVR?

This is a good one
