There are plenty of people who would love an Oculus Quest 2 if it weren’t for the controversial requirement to link a Facebook account. And for those people, a tweet from Oculus Consulting CTO John Carmack could prove extremely interesting.
As spotted by Android Central, Carmack revealed that the Oculus Go — the Oculus Quest’s more basic predecessor — will get its own unlocked OS build after official support ends next year.
As Carmack explains, that means that “a randomly discovered shrink wrapped headset 20 years from now will be able to update to the final software version, long after over-the-air update servers have been shut down.” You can also “repurpose the hardware” to your heart’s content.
