Oh shit son…Deckard could be a standalone VR headset then

I am actually hoping more for a Steam Machine. A standalone VR headset will be dead in the water. It won't have enough processing power to power any PCVR experiences adequately.

We had steam machines

—they sucked, were under spec’d and overpriced

I only ever got my hands on one of those. This kid broke his and his dad brought it to me for repair.

I wish I could remember who it was. I’d offer to buy it today just to have it on my game shelf.

This makes sense. Not only did they suck, they were killed a few years later. They are an interesting piece of gaming history though

There were numerous trade show concepts from other manufacturers but half of them pulled out before release or very shortly afterwards with only a handful of OEMs sticking it out the couple of years before calling it quits
