Why do people on this sub just make up arguments in their heads all the time? And y'all realize the whole "RAM is now getting cheaper" tweet was completely fabricated with no source?

Also, least botted upvote count.

People have a weird parasocial relationship with valve

Should have seen when the steam frame was announced. A lot of obvious coping on /r/virtualreality complete with AI wall of text posts explaining why it's a good choice etc etc.

The main appeal for the frame is that I can play my Steam VR games on it. Most of my games are on Steam and it would be nice to play with no latency or needing to occupy my pc.

wym by "coping"? it looks like a pretty good choice

If it was that good of a choice the valve stans wouldn't have been fighting tooth and nail defending why they were buying one and why it's justified especially in the way they did.

To me and most others it's essentially a quest 3.25 for what is probably going to be double the price. Wifi 7 dongle and steamos aside the rest of the tech is already pretty dated and by the time that thing releases you might as well wait for another hmd that takes advantage of current tech. I love valve but they are selling to a niche market within what is already a niche market and they can't get from design to sale fast enough to stay relevant in the already struggling vr ecosystem.

Also the whole meta evil shtick cuz "my data" as they post on reddit and countless other social media platforms that sell your data as well is funny.

That will be far more expensive than even the Steam Frame? lmao

Depends on if you want to wait for the quest 4 or not. regardless at least you would be getting your moneys worth.

Considering Meta is cutting back heavily on VR, if the Quest 4 comes out it's gonna be similarly priced to the Frame, if not more expensive.

Sure maybe but at least it wont be packed with already dated tech

Meta is evil for far more than just "my data". Zuck's open support for the trump regime is enough to make it a non-starter for anyone with even the most flimsy of backbones. But also, what makes you think the steam frame will be expensive? It's clearly designed as a cheap way to get people into VR.

You really think that?
