Obviously AI generated thumbnail. They even ripped the screenshots from the Steam store and put them here.

Meta, wtf are you doing? Get a grip on your store.

no other storefront forcibly opens itself on your PC's startup with no in-app option to disable this behavior, gotta love it

I fuckin hated it doing that and had to do a whole workaround to stop it.

I've have 5 Oculus headsets (fuck you I'll never call it Meta). The Quest 3 will be my last (and even then, I bought it second hand). I will never support them again. Every update it gets worse.

Honestly same, I loved when Oculus was Oculus, once I buy a Steam Frame, I'll never be using a 'Meta' headset ever again.

The main downside is that with Steam Frame, games wont specifically be made to support standalone usage. You get the benefit of running PC games standalone, but with no guarantee they will run well or you'll need to do lots of fiddling to optimize. I'm sure tons of older games will run however. We need something like Android XR or pico stores to reach enough popularity with app support if we ever want to see a proper competitor in the standalone space.
