Honestly the actual hardware is very competent for the price, and a lot of the technologies Valve is showing off (foveated streaming, Windows PC games on ARM Linux VR, etc.) are awesome!
It’s more how people are comparing the price to the heavily subsidised Meta doodad that is less open, has similar or worse specs (especially when it comes to streaming it seems), and is owned by Meta (selling your eyeballs to advertisers is not something I would like to do personally)

Even worse is the fact that your cameras are being sold to advertisers. Meaning that anything the Quest cameras see (the room you are in, any other individuals in the room, etc.) is going to be sent off to who-knows-where.

Personally, I’m thrilled that Meta can sell pics of my dick. Who would have thought it was even possible? It fills me with warm fuzzies.
