Also Valve: we'll make some proprietary components that have major failure points, and then not offer replacements for sale (and if we do, at exhorborant prices).
I'm talking about their VR headsets.
Don't get me wrong, I love them as a company. But while they're pushing new industries, hardware is an after thought.
ridiculously stupid take. There are no open standards and commodity components for new inventions to adopt because the damned tech is new.
absurd.

There's been open source VR hardware/software since at least 2015. Development is slow, but still active.
Where did I say I was complaining that they use proprietary components? My complaint is about the availability of said components, which is made much worse by how badly they wear.
