- chaostheory 5y agoTheir Quest headsets still work fine with Steam… for now
- cwkoss 5y agoI got a quest 1 for as a gift a couple years back. They frequently automatically installed updates that break mods. Now, my headset is currently bricked and I need to figure out how to factory reset or something to fix it. Maybe its just indifference, but given facebook's history it feels intentional.
- chaostheory 5y agoThe quest is a console. If you want to use mods without too many issues, you need to use a PC for VR.
- cwkoss 5y agoYep, my friend has the Index which I really like. Leaning that direction for my next VR system.
- chaostheory 5y agoYou can still use your Quest with a PC. You don’t need an Index for that.
- meiraleal 5y agoYep, but they have enough researchers to figure out that this will not work forever and web3.0 will eat them.
- istorical 5y agoBoth Twitter and Facebook had much more open and developer friendly APIs in their early growth stages, which they slowly reduced as their reliance on 3rd parties diminished, as they in-housed features and killed off third party integrations, and in FB's case, after they got fucked by their permissive APIs and open standards in the Cambridge Analytica debacle.
