The Facebook acquisition of Oculus was in March 2014. The hardware that Oculus sold before that was a developer prototype.
There was no bait and switch because there was no consumer product.
There’s a lot to dislike about Meta, but this complaint doesn’t make sense. If anything, Meta has put millions more of VR devices into consumers’ hands by selling the Quest at a loss. Nobody has to buy it.
- Rebelgecko 1y agoWhen I bought my Quest, I was allowed (initially) to only use an Oculus account. The FB requirement came later.
- freedomben 1y agoNot accurate. I'm not a Facebook hater, but they definitely did a bait and switch. We were advertised Linux support, but that got canned plenty after people had pre-ordered. I'll likely never forgive them for that
