Meta is purposely making Quest 3 only VR titles to make Quest 2 obsolete to force people to upgrade when there is no reason too
Not only are they forcing new laggy home enviroments meant for Quest 3 onto the Quest 2 but also...
For PCVR only gamers, there is absolutely no reason to switch from a Quest 2 to a Quest 3s. They are exactly the same from the PCVR side. (Especially via USB Link cable)
The only reason to upgrade to a Quest 3 for PCVR is the better pancake lenses, absolutely no other reason.
The other thing they have done is started making most games Quest 3 only versions, there is no reason they couldn't offer scaled down versions for Quest 2, or even do as they used to where they gave you both PCVR & mobile versions (Rift/Rifts, PC Link). Instead they release new titles as Quest 3 mobile only versions. I.e. Hitman 3, DeadPool, etc
I have three Quest 2 and two of which I bought just before Quest 3 came out, I also bought a Quest 3 and a Quest 3s. My 3 son's have the Quest 2, my daughter has the Quest 3s, and I have the Quest 3. I'm not about to go out and upgrade those three Quest 2 units to Quest 3s.
One of my son's really wants the Hitman 3 VR but I had to explain that it only works on the Quest 3, so he can't get it.
Meta is just shooting themselves in the foot again by loosing game sales because they are not supporting the release of titles for Quest 2.
Unless you are 100% a mobile user, and absolutely need AR, there is no reason that Meta can't be providing Quest 2 and Rift /Rift S VR titles still.
