It requires a Facebook account and an internet connection, no? All the Quests were bricks for the duration of the Facebook outage.

I bought an Oculus Rift CV1 and it was an insulting experience. Huge amounts of enforced updates, internet connection abuse, and general Facebook shenanigans. Fool me once... I will buy one when it's an open platform or standalone peripheral. Not before.

It doesn't require constant internet connection, most of games run fine offline. It's still scary to have Facebook-owned device with cameras in home.

As for open standalone platform, Lynx will soon become available. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stanlarroque/lynx/
