The main reason for that has to be the price factor I feel like, although I could be overlooking another reason.
I will never buy a product produced by Meta, so whenever I do decide to pony up for a headset, it will most likely be a Valve product.
Its more than pure price, the quest 3 is also higher resolution, stand alone, pancake lenses, wireless...
I have a quest 3, and absolutely love mine, use it both for wireless pcvr and standalone gaming.
Not really, the "meta nonsense" is the entire operating system,
You can always just use it for PCVR, and never use the meta store. You can also just sideload apps.
You still need to register the device with a meta account. It's part of the initial setup and there isn't a way to bypass it.
For sure, not sure if it's possible to bypass that, but even if you get banned, you can still PCVR
The hardware is pretty open to being hacked; but there isn't really a huge community for doing so.
Damn, that's definitely a reason to use it over Valves headset. I wonder if their next one will include some of these features.
Based on the various patents & Steam update code "leaks", the Deckard does potentially have all of those features, and more. Assuming it all makes it into the final product of course, which could also render it a very expensive enthusiast piece of equipment most likely.
i hope so. the setup of my quest 3 is so fast, literally seconds. Love taking it out to show friends.
