I've been patiently waiting for an index 2 or a price cut. I will continue to patiently wait.
I threw my CV1 that I bought secondhand in the trash when facebook bought oculus then forced login. Maybe I'll return to the market when it supplies something I want.
- jsheard 2y agoFor better or worse Facebook are the ones keeping VR on life support, without them it would have flatlined years ago. They have the only good affordable headsets, they throw tons of money around to bankroll VR game studios in exchange for exclusivity, and even for games they don't bankroll it's a no-brainer to prioritize their platform because >90% of sales happen there. https://x.com/MuchRockness/status/1849543449906942094 https://x.com/MuchRockness/status/1849543449906942094 Even the minority who do buy VR games on Steam are mostly playing them on a cheap Meta headset, so without Meta those sales might not have happened either. The most recent Steam hardware survey shows that of the users who have a VR headset, nearly two thirds of them are using an Oculus/Meta model.

It's a pyrrhic victory, they may have cornered the market but it's still losing them $4-5 billion every quarter with no end in sight. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/30/metas-reality-labs-posts-4point4-billion-loss-in-third-quarter.html https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/30/metas-reality-labs-posts-4po...
