Unpopular opinion n.2: I think that much of the disappointment towards the #SteamFrame comes from the fact that it was hyped too much before. Yesterday at 9-10am PT everyone was waiting for the BIG announcement, like if it was going to change everything. And when something is hyped too much, then it naturally comes the disappointment, when reality hits hard (it's like a mini version of the Gartner Hype Cycle). Steam Frame is a good device for the purpose it has been designed for, that is, making people play PC and PCVR Steam games. And it introduces some cool technology, like the very-low-latency PC streaming. But it's not a headset that will completely revolutionize XR and I doubt that will sell 20M units like Quest 2. It is not Valve's fault, because the company never released any official statement about it. It is more our community's fault. I think we need to be more objective when waiting for a new headset, and not imagine too many good things about it. And content creators should tone down their content, too, so as not to create too big expectations. Every time a headset was hyped, this never led to anything good: think about Apple Vision Pro and the subsequent "Not even Apple saved VR, VR is dead" articles.
