I was hoping for a direct Index replacement, but there are definite advantages to making a headset capable of both - especially one that also seems like it can compete with Meta as a standalone system.
My two hopes are that the one with the smaller storage will be cheap enough to compete with other PC VR headsets (which does seem like the plan), and that using it plugged in is viable. It’s built to be modular, so there’s plenty of room for modding later like adding features, so the price will be the make or break, I think.
That was my read on it, not sure how I feel about it, I’d be happy enough with vr/ar/display glasses just hooked into the new gabe-box

Gabecube?
Why do you guys keep saying ‘Gabecube’? Is it an actual product or are you making fun of GameCube?
Steam machine is cube shaped.
Gamecube is cube shaped.
CEO of Valve is Gabe Newell.
Steam Machine = Gabecube.
It’s because the upcoming Steam Machine is cube-shaped, so the joke practically writes itself
Fuck, Nintendo lawsuits be damned, they missed a trick not calling it that
I wouldn’t be surprised if they internally called it that
