Still a bit irritated by defining VR as a platform on the same level as Linux or Windows, but whatever.
I kinda think they did that because of the Quest since what do you call that if you're only playing games installed in the headset, not using Quest Link?
You can run steam games on the quest (without link)? I thought it was locked to the occulus store.
Sorry, no I didn't mean it could play Steam games without Link. I was just saying that there is precedent for calling it a platform of its own because of how Quest works. Sure, on Steam it's going to be based on the OS running it, but VR is a more unique experience than the OS being the platform.
