Meta brought out a VR set the Rift S. It cost about $600. Meta stopped selling it in 2021, the year I bought one. There was no mention of end of lifying the product. The VR headset has a cable attaching to a PC, without which it cant not function.I bought a Rift S in 2020, 2021 Meta said it was end of lif'ing it. What they didn't mention was stopping the supply of replacement parts, eg. cable to the PC. Using a VR headset with a cable results in cable twisting, so after 14 months the cable broke. I asked for a replacement cable, they told me they had run out of stock. I asked every company that Meta provided me with, but nobody had any because Meta had stopped the supply. Meta had a new headset out, the Quest, and they wanted everyone to buy it. I looked at repairing the cable, but it contained fibre optics, which I have no clue how to fix.So after 1 year of usage, my VR (headset, 6 cameras, 2 screens, cable, controllers, all landfill. All it needed - a new cable. This is a crime against the planet. What happend to a minimum period of support ? All the company lip service about "caring for the planet", they maliciously con people, treat us like idiots. They care about money, not if if they trash the planet. It's their own children who will be living in the hellscape they will create and leave behind.
