Comment on what exactly is the steam frame?

  Very likely! Honestly, if the price is able to be as good as the Deck and not the Index, I can see a lot of people adopting VR.

    teh quest 2 sold 20 mill units (most of the 20 12 year olds yes) but still! maybe the frame can sell 25 mil

      The Quest also has the caveat of being tied to Meta, and people like me will never buy one because of that.

        yeah and that pisses me off. well not the people not buying the hardware but the developers. i would LOVE to play Hotdogs And handgrenades but untill i get the frame i cant as the devs of that game has clearly said “we will not be porting our game to any meta owned platform”.

        And that caveat also comes with a discount, I heard Quest sells for less than it costs to produce.

        I never wanted to get Quest even if the price was good, I hope I will be able to get the Frame soon 🥲

  They’ve already confirmed exactly that, but if you have a Steam Deck you know those “verifications” are completely useless.

    As someone with a deck, who has complained about games that were verified when they probably shouldn’t have been, I wouldn’t say useless, it’s certainly flawed, and irritating that it’s not better, but it’s not useless

      Agree to disagree, I suppose. That was my experience. And looking at Proton DB the experience of many others as well.

        I made a purchasing choice yesterday based on the verification status. Triggering me to look closer and see what issues there were.

    That’s okay, we’ll just have to have a crowdsourced FrameDB (or maybe it will be added onto ProtonDB).

      Exactly.

    thats actually a great point 😆 . the difference with vr is that the games have to have a good frame rate, as unlike on the deck, you will get sick because of the fps.
