discord on the Oculus Quest 2
so I pre ordered a quest 2, and then as launch approaches so much more stuff has come out about the quest 2. I still plan on using it despite facebook (made a fake account posing as a grandpa and have been posting frequently and have linked my phone, and have used the account with no issues for the past couple weeks preparing for the oculus quest 2) and all the privacy concerns. Well, a couple days ago I watched the facebook connect vod (vod i guess is the right word idk its not important) and saw that they are introducing facebook messenger for texting friends and such. Based on what we have already seen with a facebook account being required and how they have made the quest 2 way more geared towards casual facebook users, I heavily doubt that discord could come to the quest. Why am I posting this then? well I was thinking that maybe, just maybe, there could be a SideQuest port. for those who dont know, SideQuest is an app that can be installed after connecting a quest to a computer and with a developer account (its an instant and free process to make any oculus account into a dev account so no trouble there) and it allows you to download games not on the oculus store, as well as run mods for pre existing games, most notably being BMBF, a beatsaber mod that allows custom songs to be played through SideQuest. See, its free for anyone to throw up an APK for the quest to SideQuest, which is why I was hoping discord could be ported to SideQuest. Im sure stuff like the discord overlay would be harder to integrate, but using SideQuest, I belive it would be very easy to port a version of discord to oculus quest.
talking features for a possible discord quest port, maybe discord could introduce quest games. You could view all your quest games you purchased through discord, as well as maybe a store for quest games onto the discord platform, and could be found under the old games tab that was dethroned by the nitro tab. will edit this post when i think of other stuff

Yes i think this would be very good my friend was telling me about developer mode and how you can get custom songs and sabers on beat saber though i am not shure if i want to do it so they should really just add it as an app free to anyone.
