Well it makes no sense if you only ever buy from Oculus. I hope the index kicks Rift S ass, otherwise I fear I may be doomed for three years of mediocre VR gaming.
Careful what you wish for is all I'll say. If it does kick arse and Rift -S doesn't sell well, then you can kiss good bye to the continued kick ass Oculus PC -VR games. Most of the steam VR games are shite IMHO. Where are all the Valve PC -VR games btw?

Do you think OpenXR will happen though? My personal opinion is that it will, and is more likely to have Oculus' backing if they've decided that they're happy for other manufacturers to have a free run at the high-end market. I'm pretty sure they'd want to welcome all users to their storefront. And if that's the case, there'll be no need to leave their community... and we can all continue to argue with the people who are intelligent enough to argue back 😉

OK bigmike, I completely understand where you're coming from. I'm not totally sure if my IPD is within the Rift-S limits being 69, it's within the adjustment limits but outside the recommended limits as far as I can make out. So maybe it'll be ok, maybe not.
I think I'm less pessimistic though in that I believe there will always be a choice of headset that best suits my needs and I'm also optimistic about OpenXR removing cross platform tie-ins.
Maybe I'm just a glass half full bloke but it seems to me that things generally turn out better than most people say... when most people say it'll turn out bad.
(Neville Chamberlain probably felt the same)
I would agree with this - but as Bigmike said - if you bought your software from Oculus (short of using a 3rd party program) you are out of the ecosystem you was just part of. People like Oculus environment, they like the software, the people they played with, etc, etc - all this really means is they want WANT Oculus to do better. This isn't cries of "I am moving to HTC!" - it's more of a cry for Oculus to get their shit together so we can keep buying their products and working with the same VR community we kind of grew up with the last 3 year or longer. Get my point bro?
I rather be arranging with Zen than some dum ass that can't even understand that 2k, 2k per eye is not 4k - it's still 2k. I rather still keep writing M-Walls here than some place else. I mean I can still do that - but just wont be as fun not on the same hardware with everyone else.
So I mean, yea we can move on to use other hardware and we have the option always at the door step, but we still want Oculus to do better than deal with what is out there instead.

Had you ever considered that why so many people are excited about the system is that they have had the chance to use it and even take it apart
Do you mean that all the people praising the Valve Index actually had the chance to use it? I highly doubt it ^^'. For now, all I heard was rumors on the specs and people stupidly believing in those rumors. As of today, the Valve Index barely exists officially. When the speecs are released, then, there will be matter to be hyped... if said specs are good, of course.its important to remember the work that SONY had done with the Glasstron and the HMZ
Hum, no, it's not. Those headsets aren't part of the current VR ecosystems. And they aren't at the same level as the others in terms of specs.
Sony did nothing for the PC VR market. I do respect them for their PSVR ecosystem though.

I'm just curious to know if we have had some bullshit thrown our way by Oculus. They kept saying they weren't abandoning PC -VR, but they have certainly made it look like it's not a priority by leaving Rift -S to Lenovo. Now there is no talk of a Rift 2 in development and that's a big change from what they were saying last year. Are we to believe that Rift -S is now Rift 2?

That being said, if I ever meet Jason Rubin in person, I'm going to give him a friendly yet firm slap on the face for talking about the Rift 2 like it's a dirty pair of jeans.
just make sure he doesn't have a bigger fish
