What hardware battle between rift and Vive? Developers for the rift seem to all be waiting to release their games so they can add the much needed functionality of the touch controllers, while Vive offers that out of the box. To me both are peripherals, and only Oculus/Facebook is trying to make itself a 'platform' with unwarranted exclusive content. Ironic that the Vive has more exclusive games simply due to the fact that they support room scale and have motion controllers. I wish they would cooperate with Valve (which valve has openly stated they want to keep VR an open environment) But this story kind of explains it. FB sticking their noses in, trying to compete directly with steam, trying to turn VR into a console war...typical.
That's why they put the DRM on their headset oh. . . No. Just no.
I have 157 games on steam right now and I don't plan on moving anywhere else.
So this Facebook is just gonna make my friends and I laugh
just looped 7:30 - 7:33 over and over :)
Facebook's Gaming Platform = Origin and Uplay's unwanted accident child
hahahahahahahaha!
oh wait, you are serious. let me laugh even harder
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I'm with Jon. No. No
I'm one of those active steam users.
Uplay customer support is horrendous. I'm still waiting on a reply to a problem I sent a 1 year and half ago and another one 2 years ago. Uplay is good a running games for the most part, but so as you have a problem there is no one on the other end to help you out.
I've given up on rely a while ago.
I'm not leaving steam either. Like everyone else all my PC games are on steam.
I honestly cant take this seriously. When I think of PC gaming I think Blizzard and Steam. Those are the two giants of PC and there is no way in hell I'm going to start using a third platform. Plus like everyone else there is no way I'm leaving my back log of games. Just cuz ive never played 75% of the games I own doesn't mean I wont eventually. Steam gives me the option to dream and lie to my self. Its a good option. Plus if I game on Facebook ill only get more annoying game requests from family and those several people I added but don't even know. I game to relieve stress not add to it.
While I've never been a fan of Steam, I hate Facebook more. So I'll just hate myself a little and pick them over FB, unless Blizzard releases a new game or the Windows store gets better.
If Facebook can offer a simple and intuitive service that provides an equal or better cut to developers than Steam then they might have a chance. They have potential but I think ease of use for customers and just pure financial incentive for developers are the key things that will determine if this succeeds or fails.

Only 50 games on Steam that you're not playing, Risemonger?
Get on my level, scrub. 500 games on Steam and counting, and I've played less than half of them!
Noob.
