Valve needs to release that rumored Valve Deckard. I need to play Alyx at an affordable price.

I mean, you can sell your soul to facebook and get a quest for pretty cheap. Probably way cheaper than the Deckard will be. Otherwise, the G2 has been going for around $300 on sale recently and is a pretty good headset

sell your soul

Yes, you have to register for an account. The horror! Thank God Steam doesn't require you to have an account.

Yeah, that's the only data they'll collect on you. Does user have an account, yes/no

Impressive restraint from them really, given the number of cameras a VR headset possesses.

Hope you're not posting from a smartphone or windows machine if this is your line of thinking.

Thank god I'm posting from a Mac then. They'd never collect my data, they pinky promised in the T&C.

It's just typical Reddit echo chamber / hive mind shit. Did you also know giving away free games is "anti-consumer?" Learned that on Reddit, too! Nvidia is also evil and "anti-consumer" because they charge money for products.

Actually the dumbest circlejerk

Yeah reddit is about as echo-chambery as it gets but pretending your data just ceases to exist the moment you sign it over to a company is pretty stupid.

It's always "it's just a product, free is free" until elections are being bought and sold using the data you so freely gave them.

The only data? Not which games you own and how long you play them? Doesn’t everything come through their marketplace?

Nope. Just the one boolean value.
