Economies of scale plus a few years for the VR market to mature. Plus no lighthouses

I would be extremely surprised if the frame costs more at lanuch than the index, which was $1000.

My point was there is no standard input library that the controller would map to without losing functionality.

It’s not like valve told everyone who wants to play non steam games to fuck off, they built a way for you to launch non steam games through steam then the controller will work.

Just build one yourself if it’s so easy… I’m sure you won’t run into any problems mapping the gyro, touchpad, or additional buttons to an xinput controller, it’s super easy right?
