- pantalaimon 6y agoWhy do you need a jailbreak? You can already install third party APKs and there is a huge SideQuest community.
- herbst 6y agoSome of us avoid devices that depend on (forever changing) hacks for normal usage.
- nomel 6y agoI don't think I would consider side loading with a developer account as a hack, and I don't think there's much evidence that this will change.
- ngokevin 6y agoI think they're looking to kill it in favor of a sideloading channel they can control. They announced it but I forgot its name.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoYup. They knee-capped Quest in a really dumb way. I'm not upgrading my Quest 1 until I can buy something equivalent without forced cloud login bullshit. If I can't, I guess I'll just stay out of VR. From what I see, this is not just nerds being nerds, a lot of Quest's current user base feels the same. I'm also hoping general population is slowly discovering the flip side of shared cloud logins for unrelated services. Connecting Facebook to your Quest doesn't just mean you can VR-chat with your Facebook friends now. It also means that if Facebook automoderator doesn't like you, your Quest will turn into an expensive paperweight. Or if you break Quest ToS, you may lose your whole Facebook account with it. (What is sometimes called "digital feudalism" really does start feeling like one.)
