They could easily have given up on VR hardware after the Index, but I'm glad they didn't. We need someone to compete with Meta.
Considering Meta has their entire empire built on the pilfered goods stolen from Valve and then sold to Facebook (at the time) by Palmer Luckey, I'm glad but also surprised Valve didn't say fuck it and throw in the towel. But then again, Steam exists because Gabe was unhappy with how Microsoft was treating him, so maybe success from spite is a hidden part of their core DNA
Indeed, fuck Palmer Luckey, I like to think Gabe thinks he's a cunt too.
IMO, we need more and better software more than we need hardware. There are plenty of non-Meta options, though they are all a bit more expensive; but the hardware doesn't matter if you ain't got anything worth running on it. Most VR games rn are no better than mobile shovelware trash.
I disagree here. I would like a virtual screen that would be comfortable enough and can be used with glasses. I could watch media and play non vr games on it. also hand traking is nice for virtual inputs.
