Without the ability to watch porn on it, it will not be mainstream. They are the Betamax of the DVD wars.
Allow me to interject kind sir/madam/other, but I do believe you mean to say the VHS wars
My bad!
And Beta was the superior format, but they didn't market it well IIRC
It was slightly before my time. It was pretty much over by the time I was using it.
It works better the way you said it, if you really want to drive the point that this will be a dead duck for sure.
To be fair, there was also the HD-DVD and BluRay war, so they could be talking about two separate wars. Probably not, but that's how I choose to interpret it.
For what it's worth, that particular format war, the format backed by more porn studios (HD-DVD) actually lost to the one with less porn backing (Blu-ray). Personally I think that the PS3 tipped things over the edge.
That's too bad, porn companies generally have pretty good taste in tech. Also:
So it came down to DRM and the PS3.
you can't watch porn on the apple vision headsets?
Not 3D porn. Just regular like you're looking at a monitor.
I don’t watch porn, but you’d better believe I downloaded some 35GB 3D pron when I got my Index. If I DID watch porn, it would be the only kind I would ever watch. Incredible.
Apple is playing a losing game not allowing porn.
Hella agree, I understand it’s complicated… but if I was into pron and it worked, what better a device?! I trust it’s more secure than Facebook shit, and it doesn’t need to be tethered to a computer strong enough to render a more-than-4k video that’s like 20-40GB?! While it’s still too expensive, the customer base would be WAY HIGHER.
I say this as a windows/linux user that uses an iPhone and iPad because their mobile devices are stellar. I’d never get a Vision Pro but they’re really missing out on a huge market of horny peeps
I agree with you on almost everything. I don't trust Apple or any big corp that sole(or soul) purpose is profits.
I trust the USPS more than Apple.
It's ok to watch porn.
Yup, Apple shouldn't be deciding what I can and cannot watch on my screens.
okay, yea porn apps are not going to be allowed on the appstore. Does Oculus even have any in their store?
For either headsets you can still go through Steam link though, or sideload 'em
It's based on Android. So you basically sideload it by going to the 3D porn's website. So ya. 3d porn is great.
I'm confused... Does the Vision Pro not have a web browser?
Yes it does, but it isn't immersive. It's basically the same as looking at a screen. 3D basically makes you the center of the porn. Put your face closer to the boobies. Look at the clock on the wall?
I remember seeing a 3D porn video where a mosquito let it on the male actor's thigh and he proceeds to kill it. It was awesome.
For $3500 and no VR porn, might as well just have real sex. 🤷🏻♂️
It's cheaper to fly to Thailand and have legal sex and still be under 3500.
