Interesting news considering it wasn't very long ago that HTC executives explained why a Vive price cut was unnecessary. Those reasons seem to still apply today, giving rise to insight that perhaps HTC feels the pressure from the aggressive Oculus pricing in order to remain viable (and alive) in the high-end VR Market.
From E3 2017:

I'm not a big gamer and so I'm never paid attention to all that so I don't have a clue. But what you say doesn't surprise me and I believe it. I just think with the vr so ' new ' and the first of its kind that all petty / nitpicking remarks and arguments need to tone down. It's just how I feel personally, others feel differently I'm sure . I guess I'm just one of those people who's like - can't we all just get along? Lol

Nothing wrong with wanting peace, love, and harmony.
But the tech industry is just as vicious (even outside of gaming and entertainment). It's part of what has kept me in this Industry for 20 years. I'm addicted to the chaos lol ❤️

Your attempts to troll are always welcome. But just try to fight your own battles. The only thing worse than bringing up football in a tech discussion... is starting a fight and then running to the authorities when things don't go your way 😉

Nothing uglier than football rivalry brought into tech discussions - but the peanut gallery love to watch this, and there are always a few hot heads to feed the hyperbole! Just keep it calm and keep it civil. 😕

"Day after day alone on the hill
The man with the foolish grin
Is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never seem to notice "
*Lyrics "The Fool on the Hill" - Paul McCartney
