I suspect there is going to be a lot more stuff happening here though.. Sounds like they also added Android support too (they open sourced lepton), so hopefully, they add their own android store soon too.. And, that will be great if there is a trend away from Play store.

And that's why steam are worth supporting. Things like this

I sold both my quest 2 for this a few months back.

Absolutely miss pistol whip.

I'm not tethering.

My rog Ally x storage is full though, and I occasionally need to delete

I only have a NUC 14 Pro Plus at this point. My gaming system is my Rog Ally X at the moment

Thats fair.. My PC sucks at the moment

If the games ran on the headset directly though, would you still bother with PC VR?

that was the problem with the meta quest. Steam Frame is a proper computer, and you could even use different stores.

I owned 2 quest headsets. The only time I used streaming was for alyx, and that runs natively here.

Even in Windows, I struggled getting streaming working on quest.

It's not as big a deal for many like me as people think

I wonder what the performance is like over SD however. It might be substantially slower

But, it's a good point which I never considered.

Also, looks like you can already extend the cameras to color too with a separate addon, so AR is a very real possibility

I sold both my quest 3 units already.

So, I don't have the money really, but still considering this. I guess the real decision is if I need 256gb or 1tb

Not a huge deal it sounds like tbh

Good luck with that

1. There is no good way to write any criminal law, as I said

2. As a condition of sale (civil) It would potentially completely fuck steams reputation. Gamers don't like companies who sue their customers. If I gift a steam controller to a partner who becomes an ex and they sell it, suddenly I get sued. Great

3. Every steam critic would use it to attack steam.

4. You cannot add a condition of sale in many countries to control the resale of a physical product. There are literal ownership laws . Which is the point I'm possibly not making as clear as I need to be

5. They could just limit 1 per customer and require a deposit to stay in the queue. And offer something beneficial like a free game which directly is added to the account that orders. But that screws people who are getting them as gifts. Or prioritize people based on library size for the initial orders / randomize the queue a bit

6. The reason I said write the example, is because what is the penalty going to be? Cancel their account? Disable the hardware?

Again, it's a bad idea. You're trying to solve a problem that normally doesn't exist, won't in 6 months and will cause a much bigger one.

As much as I hate scalpers, this is delusional that can not only legally not be enforced in many countries, but would be criminal in many countries and have a huge probability to backfire

write an example

There is no clean and good way to write this law imho

When I say loopholes, I mean ones that further harm people affected by scalpers. It's easy to say "oh, we'll write a law". The problem is writing one that doesn't backfire completely.

Yeah.. Ok.. Let me know how that law will work exactly (provide some wording) that doesn't also screw over people inadvertently.

Also, it would have to implemented worldwide instantaneously, or any region not included will exploit their advantage

Feel free to provide an example law.

Because, such a law would have to be world-wide, and require a whole new framework to work, or people in countries without the law will abuse their position

Again, as much as I'd like scalping to be banned, things don't work that way.

Well no. You don't want manufacturers to have more control to define what you can do with things you bought .

I would be a super bad look at steam, and epic of course would jump on it and say they're suing customers..I wouldn't buy steam products either if they started suing people

I worked at a computer store for a few months. Tools like PC part picker likely aren't always 100% accurate... And, even small things like cases can cause issues.

And, you still can have weird issues. I bought an omnibook and was getting random stalls. I'm still not sure it was fully because I didn't have enough ram. You shouldn't, but it does still happen.

Nobody is forcing you to buy it. But a lot of people just want a turnkey solution (like I said) where everything just works with minimum effort. I actually play games on a 4k tv.. using a rog ally.

It's not like steam likely won't update their steam machine specs again when it makes sense either. It's unlikely they'd run the same cycle length as Xbox, Nintendo or Sony

At the very least, I think part of the reason, like the steam deck is to kick off other similar products too. Even if you don't like the steam machine there will likely be others which are preinstalled and target steam

Nobody said that

I think the confusion here is that you see gamers as nerds who all want ray tracing and photorealism

They aren't. Some are

But steam directly tests that hardware in steam os, so less likelihood of issues. Also, not all hardware is compatible with each other when building either
