    I don’t think that’s reasonable. 300 people full time to release 4 headsets in the last ten years? 300 people to build a custom Android version and a shitty VR chat clone?

      You may not think it’s reasonable, but the evidence suggests that it is. If 100 people could do it then the market would be flooded with high quality standalone vr headset systems.

          Valve’s system isn’t standalone, and wasn’t trying to create a whole new vr platform like fb was trying to do

            Yes, it is, and yes, they did. It can run PC games standalone, and Steam VR on SteamOS is a platform they created.

            (I’m talking about the Steam Frame, not the Valve Index.)
