Valve has earned their 30% steam tax. It's a good tax, because Valve is ensuring the future of gaming. None of the other companies are really that interested into working on the future of gaming for the community (including for the competitors).
Don't forget that for instance the cro-team could diagnose the reason of micro-stuttering and what to do about on Windows thanks to Linux.

Quoting: eldakingHe is just full of shit. What he is actually saying is "I think Linux is not viable. I want my games to work automatically without putting any effort. There is no way you are going to make me support Linux except by doing all the work for me."*Valve doing all the work. Also Valve doing all the work on improving it on Windows.

I fixed it for you:
As long as Epic has no plans to improve the gaming platform for everybody, I only buy from Epic through the steam store.
Quoting: uraeusEspecially when the company they are trying to take on is funneling the part of their profits into trying to make the pc a better gaming platform, independent of the OS, which in turn makes it a better platform for the Epic StoreBut yeah, for me it's the linux improvements they provide.

The reason I am happy to pay a 30% Valve tax and not a 10% Epic tax, is that I know that a large part of that 30% is used for development of the ultimate (linux based) gaming platform. And that includes research into VR, it means developing better kernel infra structure to optimise for gaming in a way that can be used for other things, optimisation of Vulkan drivers , optimising/improving the vulkan standard.
For me it's mostly linux what interests me, but a large part of what Valve does is a generic improvement of the gaming platform independent of the OS.
So I happily pay the 30%.

Valve have given out some more details on the Index VR HMD with a "Deep Dive" about the Field of View

You can adjust a few things with software though, like the difference in breaking index for the colors.
So only the Razer and the Dive come to mind, and I think the high end Vive that have true adjustable IPD, instead of trying to fix as much as possible.
I have the luck that my IPD seems to be pretty common.

Quoting: CorbenUsually you can't fix that with software, because you need to adjust the focal point of the lenses. I know the Gear VR and the Oculus variants on that have no adjustable IPD. The Oculus DK2 also has no adjustable IPD. The Dive (a slap a phone in) does have adjustable IPD, because the lenses (the same that google later used for cardboard) were fully adjustable.Quoting: kuhpunktThe Rift S at least doesn't have a physical sliderAh okay. But they have a software solution to adjust the distance?

You forgot the Smach Z in the list, which was primarily meant as a Linux device.

But what will happen to big picture? Because that needs a real overhaul.... The normal client font is too small for TV's, but the big picture has a very bad overview, especially for video. Which I stopped buying video.

I would pay that subscription money if I could just run my own steam games.
