This is still bad news that awaits players from Meta Quest current ones, but especially the new ones that had been slow to get started. Metaafter announcing the drastic increase in the price of its autonomous helmets, is doing the same with its accessories… The main advantage of the Meta Quest 1 and 2 was their unbeatable quality / price / functionality ratio, and this is also what allowed them to afford the first place of the podium with a presence on the market of the order of more than 50% of the current fleet.
The news of the price increase of the brand’s helmets caused a stir last week and has still not been digested. Even if we would have ignored this announcement, know now thatthe same goes for the brand’s accessories.

The pill is once again hard to swallow and the meager consolation of the title Beat Saberworth €29.99, courtesy of Meta will not help, because the sentence is heavy. Those who had been slow to decide will perhaps turn to the Pico Neo 3 Link.
