These are the same complaints most report for most vr headsets, headaches, nausea and dry eyes... Disappointing article.

Some are, sure. But others have to do with the weight. The most interesting rationals for returning it are because it's shit as a productivity tool. So if you can't really use it for work, there aren't many games on it, then why are you keeping it? At that point it's just a TV that only you can watch (since it doesn't support multiple user profiles).

It's obviously made for porn only, that's they only thing you can do with it

Actually, according to reports it can't even do that right.

And here I am just thankful that I don’t have to hold the camera with one hand

Nah the battery only lasts a couple of hours.

[–] MechanicalJester@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I can't come more than 20 times anymore. What do I do with the other hour and a half of battery time?

Put it away and play a niche mod for a beloved Ukranian developed game from 2007?

Same Apple story: great hardware, but their walled ecosystem. They would sell so many more units if they were compatible with software used by millions of people and corporations...
