I recently thought of upgrading to a 3080. It was more of a thought then action. I looked into it and of course you'd have better luck winning the lottery than being able to find one that's not a scalpers price. PC vr is more of a niche market and getting these cards was tough even before the pandemic. Pc vr is being held back further due to the card problem. For many reasons in the past I felt stand alone with a hybird pc ability was going to be the future. I'm really glad that oculus is making that happen. With a million quest 2s selling the last quarter Of 2020, it's as Mark Zuckerberg said on it's way to becoming mainstream. I have recently played hitman on playstation vr which you can play 1 2 and 3 hitman series and it is incredible being in those worlds. (Wish I can play it on my quest 2) with quest 2 heading mainstream we are likely going to see games and experiences that will make anything we all have played up until now, seem like child's play. Again oculus congratulations on your hardware decisions.

Oculus saw the light about many things. In the past and continously until recent history, about many things including seeing the light when it comes to the hybrid we have today. I congratulate Oculus for continuing to get it right especially when it came to dropping a dedicated pc vr in favor of the hybrid.

Oculus hasn't dropped a dedicated PC VR in favor of the Hybrid. Oculus still sells their PCVR Headset, the Rift-S

Oculus stills supports PCVR. That's what makes Quest 2 work as a "hybrid." If Oculus were to stop PCVR support, then there would be no hybrid. It would just be, stand-alone.
The phrase "seeing the light" usually means that things were seeing one way first, then another way later. But as facts and history show, Oculus has always worked towards inside out tracking, stand-alone, and hybrid. From the beginning. That's the opposite of seeing the light.
I'm also hesitant to use the phrase "hybrid" with Quest, since it only "streams" PCVR to the headset. It does not take advantage of the native GPU when linked to PCVR. It may be splitting hairs, but there's a difference between a true hybrid vs streaming data to a screen.

Yep, Oculus and Carmack saw this from the beginning. It just took awhile for the tech to get to where it needs to be. As they worked towards that tech, they released what they could in the meantime. That's typically referred to as: Iterative Development.
Personally, I think that Consumers are the ones who have truly "seeing the light." That applies to me as well. I had my doubts about Quest and Stand-Alone, but Oculus continued to prove me wrong.
Other Consumers used to say that PlayStationVR, and ConsoleVR, was going to kill off Oculus and take over Mainstream VR. But that never happened.
Now we've all seeing the light! 😉
