    I see it as fate. I switched credit cards and wanted to register my new one on Meta but their system would not let me enter a Canadian postal code. My solution is to let the account expire in April (due to non-account payment because the credit card on file no longer exists) and sell my Quest 3s, otherwise they would have had me for another year. My days of troubleshooting or trying to get around bad design are over. Life is too short and VR, while fun, isn’t fun enough for me to make the time sacrifices required to keep going. The bloom is off of the VR rose.

      I have a quest 3 but I’m not paying meta a dime for anything beyond the headset. It’s much cheaper to buy games on Steam if that setup works for you. There are also apps like apprenticeVR that basically let you download and install any APK for games to play then directly on the headset.

      Recently apprenticeVR gave me some issues reaching the servers, but it looks like there are some forks made recently to provide a fix until the main project incorporates something:
