Steam Frame when?

Does anyone care? I kinda, but there are no games I want to play other than HL Alyx.

I made the “investment” in an Index setup a few years ago. Had a ton of fun with HL Alyx, Boneworks, and Gorilla Tag, among others. But the novelty wore off and with no new titles we haven’t touched it ages.

So, no. I don’t really care and am surprised they are doing any kind of bug fixes for it.

Oh, and Beat Saber. That’s a blast. Maybe I should fire it up and see if there are any new bangers available.

It was an honest question. I wanted to know if anyone is interested in it. Sorry if it came out wrong. I didn’t mean to downplay other people’s interest. I don’t care about downvotes, but I do care about not being a douche.

Don’t worry, people are just too easily offended. It was obvious to me this was a genuine question.

This is probably essential for the Steam Frame.

Absolutely. And this raises a more important aspect for me… FEX, the X86 > ARM translation layer, that is as revolutionary as Wine or Proton. If the Frame has some degree of success it will help add more traction to FEX.

Ok, now I care about the Frame / VR XD.
