Fair. It's my main reason for not owning an Oculus headset. Sadly Microsoft decided to turn my WMR headset into e-waste later this year, so I will need to find a replacement in due time.
Sorry for your loss, my friend. I heard WMRs were pretty decent equipment.
The HP Reverb G2 v2 was the highest resolution headset on the market for a while. And it comes with the same headset solution the Index uses.
Sure. It has some flaws, such as the hand tracking accuracy not being as good as some other headsets (some people felt the inside-out tracking wasn't as accurate as traditional lighthouse based approaches, but it's still plenty accurate for pretty much any game I've played with it) but at the price point this occupied when new there was really no better value for people that wanted a headset with as little setup as possible and absolutely fantastic fidelity and resolution.
It's a true travesty that Microsoft can just axe the entire platform with no way for users to continue using their still perfectly functioning devices.
In this day and age, I really think that should be illegal and Microsoft should face legal fallout. Just the nerve to claim to be a "green" company while actively making decisions to brick working hardware is bull.
