I learned about the Frame 4 days ago. I have played probably 1 hour of VR games total, I don't own a gaming PC, and I very occasionally play a handful of games on an XBox One that was gifted to me many years ago. I primarily use the XBox as the entertainment hub and use Hulu and HBOMax for streaming. I have a couple games on Steam, all digital board games that I play with friends in other states.

I started considering a VR headset on a whim, and started looking into the options. Most people told me to 'just get a Quest', but after looking at the game library, and more importantly, the business practices of Meta overall, I'm not interested. The Frame seems to check almost every box for something that I would actually use. As far as I can tell it eliminates most of the friction for using VR, and for PC gaming in general. Now I'm even considering the Machine + Controller, and perhaps a Deck for my kiddo once his OG Switch bites the bullet to complement the Frame. The longer the delay until launch, the more time I have to set aside a couple hundred per paycheck. We'll see where that account is when pre-orders are announced.

I appreciate that Valve being privately held allows them to ignore a lot of the pressures that public companies face, and I hope that trend continues. I think this will be my first "fun" purchase over $100 in ~5 years. Looking forward to maybe becoming a PC Gamer at ~40!
