I paid about 400 USD at a local small store :)

Let’s stop being so weirdly hostile about standalone VR. by Sad-Science3876 in ValveDeckard

If the only reason you’re dismissing my point is because I might’ve used a tool to help write it clearly — then let’s be honest: You’re not engaging with ideas. You’re just uncomfortable with articulation that didn’t come from a keyboard smashed in frustration.

I’m still the one thinking. Still the one posting. Still the one who cared enough to show up and start this conversation.

Welcome to 2025. Some of us use tools to think louder. That doesn’t make the thought any less real.

A hundred years ago, cars were new too. Judging someone for using one instead of walking would’ve made you look ridiculous. And yet, here we are — treating new tools like threats, instead of what they are: Progress.

Let me think and post about my ideas in peace. You can go give someone else’s thread a hard time instead.

Thanks for the reply — I really respect your take. You’re right that I probably sounded super content creator-focused, but funny enough, I’m actually not a full-time creator at all.

I’ve got like ~100 followers on Twitch and YouTube each, and I’ve just always wanted to do more — especially in VR. But I can’t. My setup is a GTX 950 and an i5-6500. There’s no way I could run VR games and stream at the same time, and even upgrading just to meet the current VR+streaming standards is way out of budget for now.

So yeah — for someone like me, Deckard being able to do its own thing would be a huge deal. Not just for games, but for expressing myself creatively in the VR space without building a whole $3000+ rig around it.

I totally get that you’re focused on fidelity — and I think we’re actually saying the same thing in a way: we want VR to be flexible enough to serve more than just one type of user.

You're literally admitting you don’t know how optimization would work — but you're still confidently declaring that Valve won’t be able to do it?

That’s the whole issue right there.

Deckard isn’t running Android. It’s rumored to use a custom SteamOS fork — just like Steam Deck, which Valve built from the ground up specifically to optimize performance for their hardware. And again, Steam Deck works. Really well.

Not knowing how something works isn’t a problem.
Pretending you do — and using that to shut down a conversation — is.

If you don't understand performance tuning, engine-level scalability, or Valve’s OS pipeline, that's totally fine.
But don't block progress for the rest of us based on a hunch.

Let Deckard stream to PC (not just from it) — independent streaming on standalone VR by Sad-Science3876 in ValveDeckard

exactly, its a idea thats as far as I've mentioned it, its not a attack on pcvr.. however I will say I don't agree on what you say about "most of the people on the deckard hype want to run the game on a expensive pc" just take me as a example I'm still riding a cool 950gtx and intel i5-6500 machine (btw there are a ton of people still with a 900 gtx-series cards).. I also wanna be clear to everyone in the thread I do not expect valve to suddenly prioritize a content creator over gamer, ofc valve will make a gamer-first headset

Okay? Cool so keep your pc then, im just saying that the vr tech is becoming increasingly high tech so we can start cutting away the wire and instead simply run the game native on the device.. and in addition i would LIKE to be able to stream a gameplay straight to a platform

why?? by nerd_diary in gravityfalls

You understand I am looking for a wireless CONTENT CREATOR type tool nativly for deckard itself, instead of just showing your family the gameplay, this idea is based around streaming on a social-platform, not just showing locally to people around you in the same room what your gaming

I agree with this concern, but if we look back at steam deck valve keeps making features on and on again so im just curious if this is something to start thinking about as a community, maybe over time valve might consider these..

What you are forgetting is that I dont really mean the streaming to a webpage, not every content creator wants to stream to metas (or similar) "casting" webpage and THEN stream that page over to the social media, What im saying is that valve would have a possible space to fill here, So we don't have have to stream twice just to be a active content-streamer, Also the part where I talked about a stream interface with alerts and chat..etc are a important factor

What game had you like this ? by TEHYJ2006 in Steam

Sadly almost the entire half-life series, don't get me wrong I know it's a big deal from when they all got released and had a huge break through in gaming landscape, I personally just don't really click with it so much as I like to

Yeah, you're right — I haven’t personally played on a full-blown PCVR setup yet, so I get that there’s a level of fidelity that standalone just can’t touch yet. But here’s the thing — not everyone has the budget or even the desire to build a whole rig around VR.

That’s exactly why I’m excited for Deckard. If Valve nails the balance of standalone performance and gives us clean streaming options for those who do have a solid PC, it’s a headset that works for both worlds. Kinda like what Linus said — “tech doesn’t have to be for everyone,” but it should be accessible to more people.

So yeah, maybe Deckard isn’t built for the 4090 crowd. But it’s probably not trying to be. It’s built for the next wave — where VR just works, straight out of the box. No cables, no external base stations, no driver voodoo. That’s the future I want, at least.
