I’m not saying the price isn’t wild but people constantly complain about the cables. It’s one of the top listed complaints. There’s a reason the Quest line is so popular (relatively speaking. VR is still not doing great). It’s not just cost, it’s also the lack of a cable.
Jesus, MacBooks cost 5K? That’s ridiculous, I’d expect that for a nice gaming laptop.
It’s a good point. The only bespoke thing on there, as far as I can tell, is the R1 chip. I assume a cord with enough bandwidth could be found in order to have a more modular system. The MacBook end may or may not have the port capacity for that, though.
Relying on individual consumer choices to change the direction of a multinational company to a direction that is clearly less profitable is laughably naive.
Yeah, there’s companies out there literally destroying the planet or causing deaths and consumers don’t care. They’re not gonna stop using their shiny rectangle over this

I don’t anticipate it, most consumers don’t take the time to be critical or try alternatives. :(
Which, if the next version of the goggles has a useful battery life, may be no time soon.
