As first spotted by VR analyst and Valve watcher Brad Lynch, Valve appears to be actively working on the backend of Steam Frame’s store page, which now includes evidence the company may be giving away a copy of Half-Life Alyx to anyone who purchases a unit.
Lynch showed off a number of strings containing the following snippets: ‘AccountHardwarePromotions’, ‘HLAlyxPromoButtons’, and ‘Frame Alyx Promo’ among others, suggesting the $60 game will be bundled with Steam Frame as a part of a special promotion.
Hello again.
When you first said Occulus, I was going to reply that that’s a hard nope from me. But then I kept reading and had no idea people were working on unlocking it and getting Meta’s crapware out of there. I’ll have to take a look - thanks friend!
Even before the bootloader was unlocked Quest runs Android, supports sideloading, and can run Steam VR as its interface.
So you were never locked into Meta.
