Is it even possible to get around USA without cars? There's not even proper paths everywhere for pedestrians.
Woo proprietary bs!
Basically, we could give you these features, but we still want to sell you a console.
ooh I like that one!
A broken clock is right twice a day.
Consoles have always been cancer for walled gardens and anti-consumerism, so it's just expected unfortunately. Would be great for VR in general if all the hardware was platform agnostic. I'll never personally recommend Meta hardware, due to the aforementioned practice, but they are the only ones still pumping money into it. Guess we will see what happens when Valve's next headset is released.
Walled garden issue. Facebook essentially bought out a bunch of shit Epic Games style for exclusivity for their store. They also take a loss on the Quest devices and people buy them because they are cheaper. They fucked VR, it should have all been cross-compatible from the get go.
Then it's a public transport failure, USA has horrible train infrastructure.
But even suburbs lack paths for pedestrians, even if you wanted to walk into town it's dangerous from the get go. The whole country is designed for cars and nothing else, there have been projects I have seen though in some cities where they tear down highways and build pedestrian areas instead, so it's not an unsolvable problem if they can beat the lobbying.
