    Are people plugging cd-roms into their steam frames? That seems impracticable.

      “impracticable”…?

      How’d that become a word you decided to was a thing?

          This raises more questions than it answers

      Maybe virtual ones for some funky emulation reasons?

      Most VR usage is watching movies in a personal home theatre, the rest is porn and maybe like 5% gaming

      The Xbox One is exactly the direction VR should be going to meet the market, but weirdly they’re doing the opposite

        wait what?

        please expand on this, I’m baffled by what you mean.

          The xbone was launched as a media platform first, and gaming console second. Everyone hated that decision. I guess op is suggesting that it makes more sense for vr.
