Semantics about VR/AR. The cameras suck and better ones could be included for not that much more, for less than the accessory. What if I want to attach a different accessory in the future, but I need this camera attached for usable passthrough?
The poor passthrough is a major gripe the VR community has with this headset.

"while providing nothing in return."
I think at this point it's just very clear you are a big Valve fanboy. I bet you would defend the inclusion of them if they existed and I suggested they were useless.
- Comment on This may be the best way to play 2D games* 1 week ago:
You are correct, about the 4 monochrome cameras being used for both passthrough and tracking. I was confusing the setup with Quest 3, where there are 2 extra RGB cameras for passthrough.
But you are still very wrong about the usefulness. Valve could have done better here without the need for an attachment.
- Comment on This may be the best way to play 2D games* 1 week ago:
You are just very wrong and you clearly don't use VR often.
Here's a critical thinking exercise for you: if there is zero application for passthrough, why even include the cameras and/or advertise a 3rd party solution?
- Comment on This may be the best way to play 2D games* 1 week ago:
I know, doesn't change my complaint.
- Comment on This may be the best way to play 2D games* 1 week ago:
It's a VR device in 2026. It shouldn't have cameras from 2010. For people using it just as a "pick up and play VR for an hour" device, then it's fine. But for $1000 and to use it as a serious VR headset, it's rough.
- Comment on This may be the best way to play 2D games* 1 week ago:
The fucking passthrough cameras are abysmal, they could have at least put better ones in.
- Comment on Steam Frame - What games do you want to play on it? 2 weeks ago:
It makes sense. But there were studios attempting to make games, until Facebook/Meta snatched them up to build an exclusive platform. Killed VRs momentum.
- Comment on Steam Frame - What games do you want to play on it? 2 weeks ago:
Most are old, when the Vive and then the Index arrived. Lots are janky old VR titles. Alyx is the first real game we got. The rest are locked behind the shitty Quest and PSVR. There's plenty of silly little experiences, but the amount of actual games with substance is low.
- Comment on Steam Frame - What games do you want to play on it? 3 weeks ago:
VRs biggest issue. There's no games. Meta basically killed the segment before it could even get started.

Remember, by buying EA games you are giving money to a regime that beheads journalists (among many other crimes against humanity).

Its not a hostage situation, its an attention seeking situation. Any real leaker just dumps the game instantly.

If the leaker had a build, they would have released it by now to deal this damage.

- Comment on Hideo Kojima ‘really sad’ about PlayStation killing discs, ‘frightened’ for future of ownership 2 months ago:
I asked you to provide an example of your claim within the AAA industry and you couldn't.
The goalpost you moved. I never said a one man team made a AAA game with $100M. I said an indie developer can make a DRM-free game, what's stopping a AAA dev (as shown with the AAA examples, clearly nothing other than choice).
Baldur's Gate and Cyberpunk are self published. Which is very ironic because I uhh said this earlier
The only way he could circumvent requirements would be if he decided to self publish the title.Yes, which as I said earlier:
But he owns Kojima Productions, he chose which publisher to use and agreed to their terms.
So, Kojima could have self-published. Those titles are not just 'magically' self-published, there is a choice made there.
Oh and as far as Doom goes. They didn't fully remove Denuvo until 2023
1/3 of the examples, yes. But they still did after 3 years, Death Stranding still hasn't after 6 years...
I see you are going to resort to going around in circles now though in an attempt to defend your beloved, so I am going to move on, as you'll never admit defeat. Good luck out there! o7
- Comment on Hideo Kojima ‘really sad’ about PlayStation killing discs, ‘frightened’ for future of ownership 2 months ago:
I haven't moved anything, I have stuck to the same point the whole time. Kojima is in a position to provide a DRM free game, he chooses not to. I said solo developers can manage it, I never mentioned budget, that was a goal post you moved, so you could better argue. Costing $100M to make and DRM-free are not mutually exclusive, they can co-exist and Kojima is in one one of the best positions to do it.
Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3, DOOM Eternal, all AAA games which each cost around $100M or more. All have DRM-free releases.
How are you so unbelievably dense? Get that Kojima dick out of your mouth for a minute and think about what you are saying. You fanboys are crazy.
- Comment on Hideo Kojima ‘really sad’ about PlayStation killing discs, ‘frightened’ for future of ownership 2 months ago:
You can keep moving the goal posts all you like to defend your daddy, but he didn't redevelop the game, it was just launched on PC, which did not cost over 100 million. He then made a second one, made the same decisions. He does not give a fuck about game ownership or he would lead by example.
Stardew Valley was made and published by 1 guy, has sold over 40 million copies and has a DRM-free release. Turns out you don't need to spend $100M or a publisher to make a more successful game. Where's the goal post going next? Just gonna be stuck on how much a game costs to make? Gonna move it to the graphics? Pointless actor hires? Surely if you spend over $100M you can make a version with no DRM, right?!
- Comment on Hideo Kojima ‘really sad’ about PlayStation killing discs, ‘frightened’ for future of ownership 2 months ago:
I know you love him dearly, but he could have done a lot better. 1 man studios manage it, surely big Kojima could have. This is simply another Kojima PR move, which he is good at.
- Comment on Hideo Kojima ‘really sad’ about PlayStation killing discs, ‘frightened’ for future of ownership 2 months ago:
How does that change anything? Death Stranding still had Denuvo and both games are not DRM-free or released on GOG (or elsewhere) with standalone installers. His comments are a PR move, otherwise he would put his money where his mouth is.
- Comment on Hideo Kojima ‘really sad’ about PlayStation killing discs, ‘frightened’ for future of ownership 2 months ago:
Kojima owns Kojima Productions, he chose which publisher to use and agreed to their terms.
- Comment on Hideo Kojima ‘really sad’ about PlayStation killing discs, ‘frightened’ for future of ownership 2 months ago:
Then why arent his games DRM-free and released on GOG? Death Stranding had Denuvo.
Classic say what is popular PR move.

Yea, it just means you were rolled closer to the front of the line on your 2TB slot.
- Comment on Has anyone here got their Steam Machine yet? 2 months ago:
That's not true. If you reserved for multiple models, then you were rolled randomly in each. Whichever model you rolled best on is the model you can buy.

I disagree completely. It's complete ass. The first thing you should do in any Larian game is install a camera mod.
