Ya enjoy your locked ecosystem. There a reason the quest is so cheap. You aren't getting anything worth it for 500$, especially not with the inflation in tech. What a silly thing to say.
Ya enjoy wasting $1100 on something that will collect dust 95% of the time you own it. You'll never use any headset enough to justify that price. Just ask the Apple zombies. But it's Gabe so better defend my favorite billionaire.
At least you OWN the thing, not the other way around.
To be fair it won't record everything happening at my house like me entering passwords on my keyboard while it collects dust. I won't go to jail and be tortured to death because of steam frame, so I think in the modern world that's a win.
Bro, I hate Gaben and bash steam every chance I get. I'm not in the Gaben Simp Squad, believe me. It's a good product though, same for the steam deck. Still a soft monopoly and the cunt has too many boats, but credit where credit is due.
I'm also not getting it because I'm simply not that into VR, at least at that price point. That doesn't mean it's a bad headset.
I'm sure it is a solid product, but charging $1100 when a comparable option can be found for half the price is insulting. Privacy concerns be damned, they all spy on you. VR is and will always be niche. This product will not appeal to general consumers. There is no killer app and it's way out of price.
Honestly, what comparable options. I've looked. There's the quest, but it's sold at a loss, is honestly not very strong and it has a locked ecosystem which is a real boner killer imo.
