I landed on the waiting list like many of you, but that's okay, it gives me more time to read feedback and experiences from folks who buy one in the first round.

While we wait, what games do you actually want to play on the Frame when you get yours? Please specify if it's a VR title or non-VR title (unless it's a super popular one like Hades or Portal that everyone will recognize).

I went through the Steam store "great on frame" listings as well as the overall VR listings, and IMO it's quite a mixed bag. There's fairly good variety but many of the "overwhelmingly positive" titles are relatively old, like even 2017-2022. And many of the newer titles don't seem to have a lot of players yet.

Of course, if you have no intention of ever buying a Frame or want to discourage others or even hype some other device, please just refrain from commenting. This simply isn't the thread for you.

I've seen a couple devs talk about this on their YouTube channels. They call it a chicken and egg problem. It's hard to get funding to develop games for a platform if you don't expect a decent sized audience. And nobody wants to buy hardware if there are no games for it. And it's resource-intensive to port a game to multiple very different pieces of VR hardware.

Hopefully Valve can break through that, because I hate having horrible spyware like the Quest as the industry standard.

It makes sense. But there were studios attempting to make games, until Facebook/Meta snatched them up to build an exclusive platform. Killed VRs momentum.
