Comment on Steam Frame Release

  Go look up the price of the last ram kit, ssd, or SD card you bought costs right now, I guarantee your going to be surprised. No one likes the price, but I was ready for it to be way worse.

    That doesn’t make this price not terrible. It just alligns with the terribleness we exepect nowadays.

      Price is relative

        Price is objective. Cost is relative. The price is high and the cost is poor when compared to other offerings.

  It can do more than some $3500 headsets (run desktop class applications natively)

    That’s so extremely vague that I don’t even know how to respond. What’s desktop class for you? x86? What type of “apps” would you want to run on a vr headset?

      Basically games that were only written to run on Windows. If someone likes the idea of playing, say, Ori and the Blind Forest, on a virtual movie theater screen, this is a way to do that, no porting from the original authors needed.

        Afaik, the list of titles you can do that with is around 130. On top of that, the “great on frame” baseline is 30fps at 720p. If you also take into account the fact that the snapdragon 8 gen 3 is already 3 years old and how little the Steam Frame battery lasts, then the whole idea starts to sound a lot worse.

        Is it cool you can do it? Sure. Would you actually want to do it and will you have a good time? Not sure, but doesn’t sound like it.
