Reply to comment by Tato7069 in Meta Abandons Original Quest VR Headset from 2019 - The company will stop providing feature updates and security fixes by 2024. by speckz

Got 2 for my kids, Christmas 2020. They've probably had thousands of hours of use, they love them. Not sure why all the hate (apart from the account stuff). It's a great toy for a certain age range (probably 10-15).

I'd be upset but my kids are transitioning into PC games now.

VR is not recommended for children under 13yrs. Especially with a lot of the interactions in VR lobbies, I'd say it's questionable to allow children under 16yrs to use. Ultimately, it's up to the parents though.

Humm.. I am not sure how much they differ from normal game lobby's, but a major problem is caused by screaming kids not adults I think

Exactly my point. Screaming kids yelling obscene and racist comments in the ears of other impressionable children. It's not hard to see how this would be a problem. Again, it's ultimately up to the parents to do their own research and make their own decisions regarding their own children.
