I firmly believe this Quest exclusivity junk is stifling VR in a way that sets it back quite a lot. There’s a lot of interesting ideas, but the closed ecosystem that Meta/Facebook has crafted is detrimental overall. It limits the peripherals, the fidelity, and it doesn’t even have the kind of competition something like the old console wars did. It’s just dumb.
A tale as old as VR, I’ve been in it since 2016 and it was Oculus exclusive after another back then. Same thing now just under a different company name.
Meta should have embraced interoperability and Valve should have released a game engine for VR and Alyx as nothing more than a tech demo and we would have been way better off. As it is, we have an amazing single game with a shit modding capability and everything else is on Meta.
