    It’s all closed source trash. No one wants to get stuck with a $500 paperweight if meta decides to alter the deal further.

      Yeah I used to have an old Windows MR headset until it stopped working (and I switched to linux)

      It was a lot of fun, and I do miss beat saber.

      But I’m not going to spend a thousand dollars on an outdated index, or put facebook spyware on my face. If Valve or some other company comes out with something modern without proprietary bs, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

        Yup and hopefully untethered. The thought of being attached by a cord to my most expensive appliance would never let me be fully immersed

      Whether it is closed source or not is irrelevant to this discussion. The fact of the matter is that VR offers a different gaming experience, one that has the opportunity to provide real exercise for the player.
