  • You’re so close. And if the deck is already unprofitable, then might they be unwilling to incur further losses on it if significant fundamentals changed?

    Also lol are you an employee of Valve or Tim Sweeney or something? Because why would anyone be upset at this, it benefits the consumer in almost every way one can think of. I’m no fan of corporations and Steam has some enshittification in it like forced updates, but come on.



  • Not personally interested because gaming on a phone feels like watching a film or a YT video on a phone to me, some sort of transgression, a line that isn’t meant to be crossed, science gone too far etc. but I do understand that many people do it, so maybe it’s not a bad idea, just not for me.

    I think I’d prefer it if they took out the arm on-computer stuff out of the steam frame and just made a good PCVR headset with both streaming compressed jpeg slop wirelessly and decoding on headset and an option for proper lossless HDMI streaming + inside-out tracking over USB-C (one cable, two connectors on the PC end for convenience), costing about $500 bux and aimed at PCVR users with decent-ish hardware like 3090s etc.


  • It’s just like the Quest 2.

    It supports some small limited library of games without a PC, but can be used for PCVR for streaming VR experiences over WiFi, exactly like the Quest 2. I have never personally touched any of the on-headset apps on the Quest 2 apart from Virtual Desktop and have only ever used it as a PCVR headset because it’s so cheap compared to the Index etc., and am also looking for an upgrade to the Steam Frame, for PCVR exclusive use.
