I would buy an oculus quest 2 today if they removed the Facebook account requirement.

Would you, though? Knowing what Facebook has already gone back on, who's to say they wouldn't add some other objectionable required integration?

There is corporate version for around $700 that does just that.

This seems interesting - Is there a way to buy this? I looked on their site, and only saw forms to be connected to their sales department.

At this price, how do you feel it competes with the Vive Pro 2 and other headsets in that price bracket?

It also has a bs annual "support" cost of $180 so short of robbing one of them, you're better off waiting for the root method for the Quest 2 becoming publicly available or if you like to live a little dangerously, just use the workaround for the login that I did (search it on Youtube, I'd rather not detail it on this site).

Every time you violate the tos of a company like Facebook, you're making the world a better place and I'm only half joking.

"Every time you violate the tos of a company like Facebook, you're making the world a better place and I'm only half joking. "

I'm sorry but every time you purchase something, while disagreeing with the ToS, and work around it instead of just not buying it, your making the world a worse place.

That's assuming there is a viable alternative for the same price point - and no, I don't consider abstinence as a valid alternative.
