I would use it for like 1 game on the quest store and more portable/wireless VR on PC. Even though my Index, is superior in almost every way, an easy headset to give to a visitor would be nice.
I probably wouldn't pay $200 for one, but if a friend was getting rid of one for $50-100 I would likely snatch it up.
Pasting the first section of the article because of the stupid anti-adblocker on Mobile:
- Shinobi Warfare's developer is rewarding players for positive reviews, violating Steam's terms of service agreement.
- The controversial practice was revealed by a Reddit user, leading to concerns about inauthentic reviews flooding the game.
- Despite reports to Steam support, Shinobi Warfare continues to face backlash for questionable tactics and content appropriation.
Shinobi Warfare, a 2D turn-based RPG multiplayer game, is being called out by Steam users after it was discovered that the developer has been rewarding players with in-game currency for leaving a positive review. The lucrative reward has led to the game receiving an 'overwhelmingly positive' review badge, but goes against the platform's terms of service agreement.
The discovery was made by Reddit user Glavurdan, who took to the Steam subreddit yesterday to reveal their findings. The post has multiple images of the questionable practice, with the most notable being on the Shinobi Warfare Discord server, where an admin on the server offered players 1,000 in-game gems to leave a positive review.
Was hoping for more about the game takedowns, but not much of anything was said:
LP: [...] how does The Pokémon Company handle Cease & Desist letters with regards to fan projects? How did you find them, and where did you draw the line on what's allowed and what the company thinks needs to be shut down?
DM: Short answer: [...] someone from the company would send me a link to a news article, or I would stumble across it myself. [...] I say this to my students: the worst thing on earth is when your "fan" project gets press, because now I know about you.
LP: Oh. Oh no.
DM: But that's not the end of the equation. You don't send a takedown right away. You wait to see if they get funded (for a Kickstarter or similar); if they get funded then that's when you engage. No one likes suing fans.
A scrap/repair shop could probably get a few useful parts out of it. Not for $800 of course.
Don't know much about the internals of that Mac book, but I imagine you could salvage some keyboard key parts, internal cables, ports on the side, or maybe even the ram or hard drive if it's out of the way.
I managed to get through it on my old 1050ti. Laggy at some parts, but still mostly playable.
