Quest 1 becomes near-E-waste Apr 30 - nowsci

I hate this so much. Why should they be able to do this?

One thing is stopping customer support and internal software/OS development. But why should they BLOCK compatibility for third party developers?

By killing the product completely they’re forcing their users to upgrade. It’s always profits man, that’s always the reason
It’s called “planned obsolescence”.
Not even planned obsolescence… It’s just “hey, you guys aren’t buying our slightly better new version. We were talking today about how to make a little bit more money, and we decided, hey, we don’t want to maintain this anymore. We also don’t want to unlock it and let someone else take over, and while we’re at it let’s just start shutting off features until you buy a new one. Because fuck you”

I know. I was saying that is so unreasonable that they shouldn’t be allowed to do it.

That said. I hope people are not so stupid to trust Meta with an upgrade after something like that.
