There are rumours that Valve will enter the game
- roguas 5y agoThey already did. A lot of companies entered the game, but none of them can sell headsets with such heavy losses as facebook. None of them have successful all-in-one headset which after sometime facebook has learned is the headset type that sells (not everybody has money for 2k pc).
- archontes 5y agoNo. This: https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/29/22699914/valve-deckard-standalone-vr-headset-prototype-development https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/29/22699914/valve-deckard-st...
- jmac01 5y agoBut that'll be like $899 if we lucky. Occulus Quest is like $300
- idiotsecant 5y agoThere's a reason for that. I'm not sure I want to own hardware that facebook is willing to take a $300 + haircut on to get it into my hands.
- jeroenhd 5y agoFacebook also sells the Oculus Quest 2 for business. You need to activate it with a workplace.com account, but the headset no longer requires a personal Facebook account to work. Incidentally, the business version is also twice as expensive and comes with a yearly $180 support subscription. The price of privacy, I suppose.
- yummypaint 5y agoThey make possibly the best overall VR system on the market currently, and it has been the best on the market for almost 2 years now. I've used the quest also, and there is no substitute for the processing power of an actual computer, not to mention ease of future upgrades via the pc.
