- neartheplain 6y agoFrom Facebook's perspective, why would they? They've got the VR market by the short hairs, no competitor comes close. I really hope Valve works on a mobile VR headset of their own. The Index is fantastic for PC VR, but mobile (with PC VR optional, via Virtual Desktop or USB cable) is clearly where the users are. Facebook's already sold millions of Quest headsets: https://www.roadtovr.com/facebook-rec-room-2-3m-oculus-quest-2-sold/ https://www.roadtovr.com/facebook-rec-room-2-3m-oculus-quest...
- viklove 6y agoValve isn't trying to probe your asshole to extract every last bit of value from you at your expense. They just want to make games. And from that perspective, a non-desktop VR headset doesn't seem profitable.
