    It’s all closed source trash. No one wants to get stuck with a $500 paperweight if meta decides to alter the deal further.

      Yeah I used to have an old Windows MR headset until it stopped working (and I switched to linux)

      It was a lot of fun, and I do miss beat saber.

      But I’m not going to spend a thousand dollars on an outdated index, or put facebook spyware on my face. If Valve or some other company comes out with something modern without proprietary bs, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

        Yup and hopefully untethered. The thought of being attached by a cord to my most expensive appliance would never let me be fully immersed

      Whether it is closed source or not is irrelevant to this discussion. The fact of the matter is that VR offers a different gaming experience, one that has the opportunity to provide real exercise for the player.

        If it did someone would have come out with an actual good game for it in the decade or so it has been around by now.

          What game would you finally consider good? Do you even know what people play in VR? There are literally thousands of games. I personally own 250 from over the 10 years, and that’s me holding back. There are so many more that I wanted to play if I had more time to do so.

          And even outside of bespoke VR games, a VR headset is an awesome monitor replacement now for your regular computer games too. My Virtual monitor is 4k 120hz, that I can use while sitting in a recliner.
