It’s not evil at all. Do you see how accessible the price of this thing is? There is trade offs. Also, there is official support for playing your steam games (wirelessly) now, so you’re not correct on that.
- wccrawford 5y agoI think they were trying to say that playing games from the Oculus store on a Valve Index or HTC Vive isn't possible, but playing games bought on Steam on a Quest 2 is possible. It actually is one of the complaints I have about how Oculus does things, but since they basically ushered in this new era of VR, they pretty much had to have their own store and SDK. I can't fault them for not closing it, and nothing is stopping the developers from publishing on both.

- aplummer 5y agoYou are describing all video game publishers, Nintendo, Microsoft, Epic, Sony. This is actually for indie developers, who can de-risk a project by taking the upfront money.
- oauea 5y agoWhy would I want to buy a second VR headset to play some games, when the one I have is already perfectly fine? Keep in mind that playing Oculus games on the Index works fine using third party software, it's Facebook trying to DRM the hardware. Do you also expect me to buy a Disney TV to watch Disney movies and a Marvel TV to watch Marvel movies? Or do you expect that all games, or movies, use the hardware you already own?
