FaceBook Needs A Stern Talking To!

Those still playing Meta Quest 1 and regularly diving into Meta’s popular battle royal game Population: One received two pieces of bad news in late July.
On July 26, Meta-acquired VR studio Bigbox VR announced on its blog that the top ten game will only be playable with Meta Quest 1 until October 30, 2022. App support for the discontinued model will be retroactively disabled – a first in Meta’s store policy.
On the same day, Meta announced that the price of Meta Quest 2 will increase by a whopping $100. To be fair, this wasn’t until August, so those affected still had a few days to switch to the newer and more powerful VR headset at the old price – if they found out about it. The Meta Quest 2 now costs the same as the Oculus Quest 1 did back then.
Meta nudges POP1 fans toward Quest 2
The reason for Quest 1’s end of compatibility is understandable: the ever-evolving live service game is slowed down by aging hardware, which is also far less common than Meta Quest 2, which replaced the older VR headset in October 2020.
“We are building big POP1 experiences that will push the boundaries of multiplayer VR. In order to focus our efforts on next-gen features and tech, we’re ending Quest 1 support on October 31, 2022. On Oct 31, Quest 1 players will no longer be able to load or play Population One”, the Studio writes.
Those who bought Population: One within the last six months and only own Meta Quest 1 can get a refund. The time limit is somewhat arbitrary, especially since the VR game has been on the market for almost two years.
