      I’m just pissed I can’t use my rift without needing to sell my privacy for a useless garbage account that will only provide me with firmware.

        Huh, guess I got the better deal with the Quest 1. It’s just bugging me to login. But I can still use it with sideloaded apks and PCVR via ALVR.
