One if my kids wants a Meta Quest 3 for his birthday, and I am only vaguely familiar with VR hardware, and on top of that I’m wary of everything Zuckerberg.

How are the ecosystems? Does the choice of brand lock you in or out of particular titles? I suspect his main goal is to play gorilla tag and similar.

Is Metaquest 3 an objectively good/decent product? What are some viable alternatives?

He’s got a decent phone and a half-decent PC. Will the same headset work for both?
-
How much HPU (if any) is required to drive one of these decently?
Meta bought Oculus in 2014. The Quest 2 came out in 2020.
You’re mostly right. Facebook bought Oculus in 2014, but kept the Oculus branding until they renamed the company Meta in 2021, THEN it became the Meta Quest 2 and required a Facebook/Meta login.
I’m learning the more I read and write the word Meta, the less sense it makes in my brain.
