    Not gonna lie the controller looks ass but maybe it feels fantastic so I‘ll wait with my final judgement. I‘m interested to see how they will try to push VR since most users are still incredibly uninterested in it.

      I’ve wanted to get into VR for the longest time but they all seemed like extremely walled gardens. This sounds awesome to me.

        For most of my life VR has been, ‘VR is a great way to experience shitty games and you just have to pay a grand or more for this interactive tummy ache, and your unit may not be supported next year! Buy!’

        I’m going to hold out until I can pick up one of these at the pawn shop for a bill.

          I got an Index for cheap last year and was very excited to play a number of my favorite games with optional VR mode. Turns out:

          1. the Index ecosystem is more accessible than expected.

          2. the games I was looking forward to all played like ass and made VR seem like a stupid gimmick.

          3. In a desperate move that felt like sunk cost fallacy, I tried several VR-only games, and got TOTALLY hooked on modded Beatsaber. This itself made the buy-in worth it.

      Right? It’s a huge bridge between x86 and ARM, it just opened up a potentially huge market for lower power consumption gaming devices. You could have like a Gameboy that runs silksong or something.
