    But it’s Meta, so who cares? I feel like it’s still Vive or nothing because the Zuckersphere is a horrible place to be.

      it’s Meta, so who cares?

      Most people don’t care if it’s Meta, or what Meta even is. Also, Meta has by far the most VR users, and the Quest 3 is already one of the most used Steam headsets. The Quest line is the most relevant VR hardware out there.

      the Zuckersphere is a horrible place

      Probably in the future it will be, but not right now. Metas product lifecycle always starts out with being good to their users, which is where we are currently. The enshittification usually comes later. For some aspects (content and standalone) it’s basically the only option. If and when we reach that point there will hopefully be alternatives.

      it’s still Vive or nothing

      I’d love to have a Steam standalone headset, but it doesn’t exist (yet?) and the Vive is truly outdated by now. Not even bigscreen beyond or the index?

          Not sure if a Chinese company is the answer. Also they seem to be less interested in being a Quest competitor going forward and didn’t even fulfill their single promised exclusive title. There’s a decent amount of games though and it’s not Meta, so that much is true.
