They are really testing the patience of their loyal customers these past couple years. And I’ve officially had enough and called it quits after Duskmourn.
First thought I had when I read this was “I don’t remember being asked this question”. This feels like when a game or small business schmoozes a tabloid to give them a “best of” award. They are building echo chambers around their business to justify profitable decisions.
I wish that were the case out west.
Unfortunately, the way many companies are set up these days, they require employees to use multiple different web applications to do their job. And if you’re a developer, you need many different tabs for testing scenarios.
A Steamlink app was added to the Meta store recently. It supposedly allows playing streamed desktop VR. I have been meaning to try it with Steam on my Linux desktop, so I can’t really vouch for it yet, it could just not work. And who knows if Proton works for any specific VR games.
This would be fun in very specific use cases and for a very specific audience of people. But otherwise it’s a lot of trouble and people would hate doing it most of the time. A true gimmick.
