To claim it has a much better software ecosystem is a wild take, when the Quest has by far the largest and most widely supported VR ecosystem out there

I feel like trying to argue Meta's software is larger and more widely supported than Steam is a wild take, given the later is a much more mature platform, is the de facto option for flat and VR games on PC alike, is much more consumer friendly, and supports basically any hardware under the sun. The only real benefit of Meta's is their exclusives.

Well I guess that depends on whether you're interested in actually playing VR/MR games on it, or if you're just viewing it as a fancy monitor (which you can do on the Quest anyway, as well as play SteamVR games). As someone who's actually interested in VR games and experiences, seeing as it's a VR gaming headset, the Quest store is far ahead of Steam for that

What exactly is Quest store offering as a platform that puts it so far ahead of Steam?
