As others said, not lock in. But they certainly make some very questionable UX decisions. I wish there was a good replacement, but there isn’t, at least none that I am aware of.

Fair. Fuck AI and its defenders.

They chose to use Bun, which is AI vibe coded slop.

Why are Proton trying their hardest to ruin themselves? They were doing fine, but have recently started rushing products out and we are starting to see the cracks.

Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds Battlegrounds is such a weird case. The name was stupid to begin with, everyone ended up just calling it PUBG. Then they rebranded to PUBG being the company name and the game name, but then slapped Battlegrounds back on the end anyway?!

Everything fell apart after Harambe. Save us NASA.

I have a lot. I want to see an official twist on it. Something that everyone can discuss and doesnt become irrelevant.

Well, they decided to make a new version and bottled it, so now have a lot of tech debt to catch up on. The Java version has had work for sure, but unpaid modders still do more for optimisation.

I’m not sure on who the developers are anymore, but I sure hope the people working on the backend are not the ones relied on for new content either.

This isnt tiny little Mojang and Minecraft anymore, this is the best selling game of all time.

The game has limitless untapped potential.

They could make whole new dimensions that are essentially a new game plus. With new, harder mobs, bosses with actual mechanics, new gear, resources, etc.

The creative sandbox aspect of the game is fantastic, I love creating things and seeing what other people make, but the survival aspect has had no real expansion. Their horrible balancing and failed combat update leaves no wiggle room for new weapons. The wooden axe does the same damage as a diamond sword.

Why do anything cool when they can spend 6 months adding 1 feature from a mod?

Semantics about VR/AR. The cameras suck and better ones could be included for not that much more, for less than the accessory. What if I want to attach a different accessory in the future, but I need this camera attached for usable passthrough?

The poor passthrough is a major gripe the VR community has with this headset.

“while providing nothing in return.”

I think at this point it’s just very clear you are a big Valve fanboy. I bet you would defend the inclusion of them if they existed and I suggested they were useless.

You are correct, about the 4 monochrome cameras being used for both passthrough and tracking. I was confusing the setup with Quest 3, where there are 2 extra RGB cameras for passthrough.

But you are still very wrong about the usefulness. Valve could have done better here without the need for an attachment.

You are just very wrong and you clearly don’t use VR often.

Here’s a critical thinking exercise for you: if there is zero application for passthrough, why even include the cameras and/or advertise a 3rd party solution?

I know, doesn’t change my complaint.

It’s a VR device in 2026. It shouldn’t have cameras from 2010. For people using it just as a “pick up and play VR for an hour” device, then it’s fine. But for $1000 and to use it as a serious VR headset, it’s rough.

The fucking passthrough cameras are abysmal, they could have at least put better ones in.

Go for it. AI basically made piracy legal, or these companies would be facing massive lawsuits, right?

Passkeys are just more convenient replacements to passwords, ideally suited for a password manager flow.

For most people, this works really well and is a lot better than remembering loads of passwords. It’s easier to get people to remember a single stronger password and use passkeys to login to services.

The whole lose access thing isnt as big of a deal breaker as you make it sound (It literally works the same as it does now with passwords). Considering the large amount of people that forget their passwords and constantly reset them, passkeys can help. There’s a reason popular sites just ask you for a code from an email now instead of even prompting for your password.

You want to use biometrics to individually login to services, great. But what about those of us who don’t want to rely on biometrics? That’s where passkeys do both jobs.
